Https Connection subdomain URL change

Question

Https Connection subdomain

Im Looking to set up my wickets 1.5 application with HTTPS.

I have added the following to my Application Class.

setRootRequestMapper(new HttpsMapper(getRootRequestMapper(), new HttpsConfig(8080, 8443)));
mountPage("/go/securepage", securePage.class);

As i have annotated the securePage.class with "@RequireHttps" the Link correctly loads the page with HTTPS.

However i want to forward all https connections to a seperate subdomain.

So instead of going to

https://www.example.com/go/securepage the user is forwarded to https://securepage.example.com/go/securepage

How can this be done?

I've never needed to do this, but looking at the sources of HttpsMapper it seems you will we able to do this by overriding HttpsMapper.mapHandler().

public Url mapHandler(IRequestHandler requestHandler) {
        Url url = delegate.mapHandler(requestHandler);
        switch (checker.getProtocol(requestHandler)){
            case HTTP :
                url.setProtocol("http");
                url.setPort(httpsConfig.getHttpPort());
                break;
            case HTTPS :
                url.setProtocol("https");
                url.setPort(httpsConfig.getHttpsPort());
                break;
        }
        return url;
    }

So, you can override it like this:

setRootRequestMapper(new HttpsMapper(getRootRequestMapper(), new HttpsConfig(8080, 8443)){
    @Override
    public Url mapHandler(IRequestHandler requestHandler) {
        Url url = super.mapHandler(requestHandler);
        if ("https".equals(url.getProtocol)){
            // Force the HostName for HTTPS requests
            url.setHost("securepage.example.com");   
        }
        return url;
    }
});
