Redirect back to the ticket you were on when you sign in

[melchoyce]

I get signed out of trac every couple of hours, and then it's really irritating to have to sign back in, only to be dropped onto core.trac.wordpress.org instead of the ticket I was previously viewing. I have to go back to the ticket and reload so it knows I'm signed in. Can this get fixed so you're redirected back to where you can from?

I reported this already in October, see ​https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2016/09/29/hello-can-someone-please-change/#comment-1141. But systems have no time for us so I guess we've to live with that for a while.

I don't think this was from the Apache configuration. I've done the change requested by @ocean90, but it wasn't enough to fix this.

login.wordpress.org uses wp_login_form() which is meant to be embedded in a page so you'd expect it to redirect back to itself. That's why its internal default is REQUEST_URI rather than the referer or a redirect_to.

In wporg-sso/wp-plugin.php, we change the default redirect to the value of redirect_to. But we never actually bother to fall back to the referer. So I'm now fixing that.

SSO: Consider the referer when doing a login redirect.

fixes #2244.

@melchoyce "I get signed out of trac every couple of hours" - this seems very wrong. Can you reproduce this with any regularity? Your WordPress.org login should last for a while.

Yeah, it's been a constant fact of life for at least a couple months now.
