Description Susan McCourt

It is not possible to open/edit a site from a self hosted site.
This makes it hard to test that page when making changes to it.
Mark says this is a side effect of bug 360274.

The error is
 Error: Unable to load http://localhost:8080/site/T status:0

The fix from Bug 360274 disabled the "un-qualification" (ie. stripping off the current server's hostname and port) done on URLs returned through the sites API. This was to prevent the server from mangling your mapping rules when you were editing a self-hosting site config. But a side effect was that when you visited the Sites page on an inner site, the Location URLs pointed to localhost, not yoursite.orion.eclipse.org, so most of the features didn't work.

I modified that fix so that the sites API un-qualifies only the "Location" URLs that it returns, but not others. This means you can click through to the site editor and use it (so we can test the UI again, yay) but your self-hosting setup is still safe.

Thanks, Mark!  Hopefully I won't break you so routinely anymore when I do big command refactorings.
