mod_substitute and variables

[João Oliveira <joao.p.oliveira@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

does anyone know if we can use variables with mod_substitute? I have some apps that respond to html on different ports in the same machine (that I don’t know in advanced), and I would like to access them through a proxy using an URL like http://myhost/app/1001. With this URL, I can connect to http://localhost:1001/. 

The problem is that I would like to prepend all addresses in the pages that those apps respond, with the port number of the app. I am trying to use mod_rewrite and mod_substitute. I can access each app in turn, but not managed to properly substitute the urls.

I wonder if I could used the env variable set by LocationMatch, or some other method to achieve similar result.

Here is my configuration:

       <LocationMatch “^/app/(?<uiport>\d+)">

                SetOutputFilter INFLATE;SUBSTITUTE;DEFLATE

                AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html

                ReWriteRule app/(\d+)/(.*)  http://localhost:$1/$2 [P]

                Substitute s|href="">"/"|href="">“/app/${env:MATCH_UIPORT}"|n

        </LocationMatch>

Best regards,

João
