Relative path in IE9 contains VAADIN/widgetsets/

Hello,
I have application, which try to open url http://localhost:8081/MonitorConsole/console#dashboard/DashboardId=64658
Everything works well in Chrome and FF. But IE opens:
http://localhost:8081/MonitorConsole/VAADIN/widgetsets/cz.trask.monitor.console.ConsoleWidgetSet/3DB229B54536960049C4919358FDEA81.cache.html#dashboard/DashboardId=64658

code:
ExternalResource link = new ExternalResource(“#dashboard/DashboardId=” + dashboardsInSlideshow.get(lastDashboardIndex).getId());
AbstractApplication.getMainWin().open(link);

Vaadin.version=6.8.2

Is it feature or bug?
Thank you

I seem to having a similar issue after setting up authentication using spring security.

I’m my application I’m calling:

setLogoutURL("../j_spring_security_logout");

And I have a button which calls:

getApplication().close();

In Chrome and FireFox this works fine, redirecting to http://localhost:8080/app/j_spring_security_logout

However in IE9 it redirects to http://localhost:8080/app/VAADIN/widgetsets/j_spring_security_logout


WORKAROUND:

Not sure if this helps your situation but I found a workaround for myself, by using getURL() in the application rather than relying on the relative path:

setLogoutURL([b]
getURL()
[/b] + "../j_spring_security_logout");

Please
create a bug report
about this.

This issue seems to be fixed in Vaadin 6.8.3.
Previous code works in IE 8, 9, 10
