bad urls behind load balancer

Our app runs behind a BigIP f5 load balancer that also handles ssl for our site.

So, when a request is made to
https://fakeurl.com/fakepage.aspx

the F5 takes the request, repackages it and sends it to one of the webservers as
http://fakeurl.com:8443/fakepage.aspx.

Under this setup the web report designer is generating links and post backs that look like this

http://fakeurl.com:8443/fakepage.aspx?s ... _OETags.js

instead of

https://fakeurl.com/fakepage.aspx?stimu ... _OETags.js

The problem is the F5 will not let this request through so the desinger will not work.

We have about 4 weeks until our go live date. Is there anything that currently exists or could be added, allowing us to tell the report desinger to use relative urls or set the base url it should use?

Since we had a copy of the code we changed the line in the web desinger dll that reads

string originalString = this.Page.Request.Url.OriginalString;

to

string originalString = this.Page.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;

Hello,

Please set the StiWebDesignerOptions.UseCompleteUrl = false. It will be available in the prerelease build from 21-Sept-2009.

Thank you.
