When a user gets mailed the change password link in our app from our production server, for whatever reason, they’re getting an absolute url without the colon the http://. As a result, people are complaining the link doesn’t work.
The issue only occurs on my production environment, but I do have this set in /config/environments/production.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'http://www.blah.com' }
So I’m not sure what the issue could be. I’ve also searched the entire site for the string “http//” to see if it was just a typo in a setting someplace, but no dice.
The confirmation_instructions.html.erb itself is untouched and the link is generated as such:
<p><%= link_to 'Confirm my account', confirmation_url(@resource, :confirmation_token => @resource.confirmation_token) %></p>
So what the crap would cause my server to drop the : from http://?? Has anyone ever run across this issue before? Any theories on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
I ran into this problem too. The issue (oddly) is that you’re using a full URL in the default_url_options (:host => ‘http://www.blah.com’). If you put http://www.blah.com instead it appears to work. I ran into this problem last night and this was the quickest fix for me.
