The behaviour you are seeing is related to the auto-jump that occurs when a
search finds only one matching host. In this situation, it will take you
straight to the page with that host in it, rather than an interim page from
which to choose from all matching hosts.
My testing shows that the older Xymon returns a "302 Found" redirect, but
the new one returns a "200 OK". I'm wondering if this Apache doing some
kind of internal redirect for the newer Xymon. The "Location" header sent
by the two versions are different in that the old version sends an absolute
redirect "Location: http://servername/blabla"; and the new one sends a
relative redirect "Location: /blabla". I'm not an expert on Apache, but it
wouldn't surprise me if it's optimising the relative redirects. If so, this
might be a behaviour that can be adjusted by Apache configuration.

Has anyone else noticed that in 4.3.28 the URL is written differently than
in previous versions (4.3.21 below)?
It is very useful to know what page a server resides on when using the
findhost.sh and being able to send a link that contains the actual path:
https://xymon.server_4.3.21/Chicago/ORD/ORD_TMP/#server1
In 4.3.28 the URL remains with the findhost.sh paramerters:
https://xymon.server_4.3.28/Denver-cgi/findhost.sh?host=
server2&jump=on&SUB=Search
Is there a way to revert this back in 4.3.28?
Thanks,
John
