281644 - confirm-user-match template generates absolute URL instead of relative

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 329334

We run bugzilla through a squid redirector.

The following occurs in Bugzilla 2.18.

When creating a new bug, post_bug.cgi calls Bugzilla::User::match_field.  If the
user login name does not match because of case differences, match_field() calls
the confirm-user-match.html.tmpl template to prompt the user to confirm the
login name.

This template creates a form and sets the action script to the value of the
%script% template variable, which gets run when the "Confirm" button is clicked
 Bugzilla::User::match_field sets the value of this variable to the SCRIPT_NAME
env var set by the web server.  

The problem is that this value is an absolute path, and not a relative path. 
Most (all?) of the action scripts in the other forms throughout bugzilla use
relative paths.  Using an absolute path breaks redirectors.



Reproducible: Always

I run Bugzilla on an internal server and use ProxyPass directives for external
access, so I get the same problem. To fix, I modified the match_field sub in
Bugzilla/User.pm to set script var value to $ENV{'URL'} rather than
$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} (just before call to process template).
