[Building Sakai] Welcome Help page fails on LocalName in 2.9.2

[David Wafula Wanyonyi]

Hi all,
We noticed our welcome help page was never loading. Looking through the code, this pointed to:

 org.sakaiproject.tool.help.ContentServet.java

Line 88:             url = new URL(req.getScheme(),req.getLocalName(),req.getServerPort(),req.getContextPath()+"/"+docId);

Now, req.getLocalName() was failing in our case, because of an entry in /etc/hosts that had a non-qualified domain name.

We changed to req.getServerName():

              url = new URL(req.getScheme(),req.getServerName(),req.getServerPort(),req.getContextPath()+"/"+docId);


and this works.
This could just be an issue specific to us..not sure whether it was worth opening a jira on it.
Regards
