the "originalUrl" is not used as the default "returnTo" url, the baseUrl is about express-openid-connect HOT 2 CLOSED

Yeah, the number 2. sample works as expected.

Thanks for your time! Closing

Hi @jordanst3wart - thanks for raising this

This behaviour is as designed, we don't use the referrer header in the returnTo by default because the referrer header can be a third party (eg if google linked to your login page, you would return to google after login) - if you want this behaviour you can override the default login route behaviour, see https://github.com/auth0/express-openid-connect/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md#3-route-customization

The baseUrl is used as the returnTo value as a default, when it should be the "originalUrl" the request came from.
The error is here. It should use returnTo if defined or originalUrl:

originalUrl in this instance is the /login route - so if you returned to that page after login you would be stuck in an infinite loop

This is a regression of this fix: #95

There is no regression, this behaviour works as designed. When you protect a route with requiresAuth - you will be returned to that route after login (this is the behaviour that was fixed in #95) see https://github.com/auth0/express-openid-connect/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md#2-require-authentication-for-specific-routes
