Re: Using variables with mod_substitute to rewrite dynamically

["Vlad Liapko" <vliapko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Luca,

 

I tried ProxyHTMLUrlMap, it has side effects making me to switch to Substitute. ProxyHTMLEnable=ON makes all responses chunked, even not html, i.e. Java applet jars got chunked and applets do not load properly after this. A few other things make mod_substitute a better option.

 

Thanks,

Vlad

Hi,

 

I’m trying to substitute a server name dynamically in xml responses

Substitute s|http://blah.com|${SERVER_NAME}|n

to now success. Apache complains conf variable is not defined, but it is there in VirtualHost.

 

So far I was able only to use <IF> and put a specific substitute for a specific host. The reason I need it dynamically is that I have thousands of proxy rules through <Location> directives, I want to be able move those rules from one environment to another without updating a hardcoded value.

 

 

I don't think that mod_substitute works with expressions, have you tried https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_html.html#proxyhtmlurlmap ?
