Experience Builder unable to use subfolder path in Ajax requests

Hello

When using the ArcGIS Experience Builder v1.17 with the --path option as documented in the [installation guide](https://developers.arcgis.com/experience-builder/guide/install-guide/), the client-side code fails to honor the subfolder path in Ajax requests.

Environment

- ArcGIS Experience Builder: v1.17
- Web Browser: Chrome

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Experience Builder with a custom path: npm start -- --path /exb
2. Access the builder at: https://localhost:3001/exb/
3. User is redirected to: https://localhost:3001/exb/page/set-portalurl
4. The page attempts to fetch data from https://localhost:3001/signininfo (missing the /exb prefix)
5. The request fails with a 404 error

Expected Behavior

The Ajax request should be made to `https://localhost:3001/exb/signininfo`, respecting the subfolder path.

Actual Behavior

The Ajax request is made to https://localhost:3001/signininfo, ignoring the subfolder path.

Root Cause Analysis

In the client code (client\dist\site\widgets\set-portalurl\dist\runtime\widget.js), the fetchSigninInfo method constructs the URL without considering the subfolder path:

fetchSigninInfo() { const t = `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.host}/signininfo`; return window .fetch(t, { cache: "no-cache" }) .then((t) => t.json()) .then( (t) => ( this.setState({ signinInfos: t }), this.getDefaultPortalUrl(t).then((t) => { this.selectPortalUrl(t); }), t ) ) .catch((t) => (console.error(t), t)); }

Other widgets in the codebase appear to use a utility method ${e.urlUtils.getFixedRootPath()} to correctly retrieve the subfolder path prefix. This method should be used in the `set-portalurl` widget as well.

Impact

Users cannot run Experience Builder in a subfolder configuration, limiting deployment flexibility.

Thanks for your help

Bit old but for the archives:

Replacing client code (client\dist\site\widgets\set-portalurl\dist\runtime\widget.js), in the fetchSigninInfo method:

const t = `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.host}/signininfo`;

with

const t=`${window.jimuConfig.baseUrl}signininfo`

fixes it I think. Not exhaustively tested. Note that no slash needed before signininfo.
