Description

Suppose the following code in a bookmarkable page , say "FirstPage" :

When user pushes an AJAX button , the page builds a bookmarkable link :

Map<String , Object> parameterMap = new HashMap<String , Object>();
parameterMap.put("index" , myObj.getIndex());
PageParameters pps = new PageParameters(parameterMap);
String absUrl = RequestUtils.toAbsolutePath(getRequestCycle().urlFor(SecondPage.class , pps).toString());

If the user navigates properly (by clicking links to the FirstPage) ,
the absUrl is correct : foobar/SecondPage/index/1/
after pre-adding "http://" + req.getServerName() + contextPath + "/" , I can correctly build the (bookmarkable) link like this :
http://www.foobar.com/app/foobar/SecondPage/index/1

BUT , if the user directly links to the FirstPage(copy / paste the FirstPage's url in the browser's url bar) ,
or clicks the SecondPage's link and back (by browser) , and pushes the AJAX button again...
SOMETIMES , absUrl becomes :
http://foobar/SecondPage/index/1/ , the preceding "http://" is redundant !!!
And , my bookmarkable link becomes : http://www.foobar.com/app/http://foobar/SecondPage/index/1

I can not successfully re-produce this error every time. but sometimes it just occurs .
It seems it is a bug...

PS : I know how to build a BookmarkablePageLink in the wicket way , But I have to do this for a special purpose.....(parsing an article and adding links to some keywords)
