Not a chef-client bug. Arguably a bug in the server. People used to never have this problem because merb generates URLs for a response based on the Host (and related) headers in the request. This is tricky to get correct from a security perspective (cf., http://www.skeletonscribe.net/2013/05/practical-http-host-header-attacks.html ), but obviously the way this works currently can be confusing when things go wrong.

I've talked over a few possible resolutions with the server guys so I think we'll improve this in a future release.
