[Pound Mailing List] Re: pound does not handle server-generated redirect well and drops hostname from location

SOLVED:

*RewriteLocation* 0|1|2If 1 force *Pound* to change the Location: and
Content-location: headers in responses. If they point to the back-end
itself or to the listener (but with the wrong protocol) the response will
be changed to show the virtual host in the request. Default: 1 (active). If
the value is set to 2 only the back-end address is compared; this is useful
for redirecting a request to an HTTPS listener on the same server as the
HTTP listener.
