  • 0

I have a servlet that generates CSS for a given colorScheme name if it exists in the database. However, should the colorScheme not be found, it issues a response.sendRedirect() to the location of the actual file on our CDN.

This works in all browsers except for IE when the CSS contains relative links to images for icons, backgrounds, etc. Every other browser uses the redirected URL (CDN url) to resolve the relative URLs in the CSS file, but IE still uses the original request URL (servlet URL).

I can’t change the relative URLs to absolute URLs in the CSS files for a number of reasons I can’t go in to. Is there a way to get IE to use the redirected URL instead of the request URL for the relative URL resolution?

    Since we are processing our HTML/JS in another servlet before the call to the colorScheme servlet, what I did was check to see if the requested skin was dynamic (from the servlet) or not at this stage. If the colorScheme is dynamic, I write out the link tag with the address of the CSS servlet, otherwise I write out the address of the CDN.
