Hi 

we are working with a mod_maxminddb and apache 2.410.

mod_maxminddb is configured to set de env variable GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE

The problem is that if we do:

   RequestHeader set GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE %{GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE}e 

We see correctly set the header. (is set to "ES", as we expected)

But,in this rewrite rules, GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE seems to don't be seted, and applies the alternative value "en" on the RewirteRule:

   RewriteMap locale-to-pub txt:conf/rewrites/locale_to_pub_b2c_v61.txt

   RewriteRule ^\/((index|home)(\.php|\.jsp))?$ /${locale-to-pub:%{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE}|en}/home.jsp [R=301,NC,L,E=nocache:1]

This are ERROR TRACES from rewrite_mod, where we can see "key=" as void.

    applying pattern '^\\/((index|home)(\\.php|\\.jsp))?$' to uri '/'

    cache lookup FAILED, forcing new map lookup

    map lookup FAILED: map=locale-to-pub[txt] key=

    rewrite '/' -> '/en/home.jsp'

After some research, and tests, we know that if we force the variable whit

  SetEnIf GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE=ES

it works. It is because SetEnIf sets the variable at the begining of the request, before mod_rewrite take acction. In this way, seems like mod_maxmiddb is taking acction after mod_rewrite.

How can we confirm it? How can we workaround it?
