Item1227: PermittedRedirectHostUrls don't show up in the configure web page

Although the PermittedRedirectHostUrls setting is available in LocalSite.cfg it cannot be found on the configure web page.

Default entry from LocalSite.cfg is:

$Foswiki::cfg{PermittedRedirectHostUrls} = '';

It should be available in configure as this was the case earlier on T*.

It is an expert setting now

But I agree that it should not be. It needs to be moved back in the important settings.

Anyone that for example has www.lavrsen.dk and lavrsen.dk as same IP in DNS needs one of the two in {PermittedRedirectHostUrls}. I would call this extremely common.

It is a simple change in Foswiki.spec to get this back.

I'll figure this one out.

Wasn't there in the past something like expert settings even in configure?

Anyhow, it might be advanced but as you say still common enough to not be hidden away too far, especially because the error one gets when saving is not stating that it can be set in !LocalSite.cfg.

Happened to me not because of a second DNS but for some reason because of the IP. It also must be set when access via http and https is allowed.
