Re: ProxyPassReverse rewrites Location header where it should not

Hi Vlad,

2017-11-29 20:54 GMT+01:00 Vlad Liapko <vliapko@xxxxxxxxx>:

I have below config, non essential stuff removed

<Location /test/>

ProxyPassReverse http://backendhost.com

ProxyPassReverse  /

</Location>

 

It happens that backend sends Location header already correctly pointing to the front end, no need to rewrite, like this

Location:https://frontendhost.com/test/

 

Apache directive

ProxyPassReverse  /  is suppose to handle use cases when a back end server is not adding any host in Location, just a relative URI, but what happens it converts

Location:https://frontendhost.com/test/ into

Location:https://frontendhost.com/test/test/

 

As far as I know the second ProxyPassReverse is translated to something like the following (since it is used in a Location block):

ProxyPassReverse /test/ /

 

So it seems to behave correctly. What happens if you remove it and use only "ProxyPassReverse http://backendhost.com" ?
