"Home page URL" not working in version 8.17.0 - Always redirects to users/sign_in
After upgrading from 8.16.6 to 8.17.0 the "Home page URL" redirection setting no longer works and always redirects to users/sign_in
no matter what is set as Home page URL under admin/application_settings
.
The same issue was reported one year ago for version 7.12.0 and was fixed: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1876
The commit that may have broken it this time is here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/f40716f48a25809d197ba2abf32ce150b7b73efa#7dc0dd94f601e507e2a20bad6adcf12a51caa380
