Comment 1 for bug 1534979

I am not sure what exactly you mean by "the redirect option", but we've had good success controlling this with SetEnv in our Apache config. Is that what you have tried? E.g.:

<Location /eg/opac>
    ...

    SetEnv physical_loc 1
</Location>

There may be another setting involved which I am not remembering at this moment, but I don't think we've experienced the kind of issues you are describing when the above is in place.

Sincerely,
Dan
