Hi All,
I have a list that stores URLs to other sites in our SharePoint
installation. Some of the links were written to the list as http://<internal>,
while others were written as https://<fqdn>. Users internal to our
network access SharePoint through the internal URL, while external
users go in through the fully qualified domain name.
When the list is displayed, what used to happen was, if the user was
coming in externally, the links would all show up as https://<fqdn>.
While if they were accessing it internally, the links would show up as
http://<internal>. I've been trying to figure out what does this
rewriting of the URLs, since they were all stored in the list as
absolute URLs, some referencing the internal name of the server, some
the external name.
Moreover, we've just started noticing that newer list entries don't
necessarily do this automatic rewriting of the URL, i.e., a lot of the
newer links do not change depending on the server name used in the URL
to access the list. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks,
Lam
