# Make Links Portable #
## Issue ##
Currently, all the links in Plinth point to 127.0.0.1/(something), and that
sucks for serving Plinth on a local network, like most use cases imply.
## Fixes ##
### TODO Links work when accessed from remote clients. ###
#### 2012.1007 ####
Investigate the following:
$ grep -nHr basehref ../*
$ grep -nHr 127.0 ../*
fabfile.py:40: if env.host == "localhost" or env.host=="127.0.0.1":
fabfile.py:46: if env.host == "localhost" or env.host=="127.0.0.1":
fabfile.py:102: hidden_service_config = "HiddenServiceDir %s\nHiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:%d" % (tor_dir, santiago_port)
plinth.py:119: server.socket_host = '127.0.0.1'
Also, why is base_href blank in
[cfg.sample.py](file:~/programs/freedombox/plinth/cfg.sample.py)?
#### 2013.0221 ####
The actual causes of this issue are the `raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect` lines that
change the server's name on redirect. How do we fix that?
The server name gets redirected whenever we need to be authenticated, which is
most Plinth pages.
