RE: About Using ProxyPass Directive (Apache Users)

Ø ProxyPass "/?q=accesskey"

From the ProxyPass documentation, it states:

url is a partial URL for the remote server and cannot include a query string.

If you must use a query string then presumably you will need the more flexible RewriteRule directive with the [P] flag.

Subject: [users@httpd] About Using ProxyPass Directive

The application I want to deploy behind the reverse proxy is in the E:\programming\visual_studio_2017\Projects\currency_converter\x64\Release directory on my computer, and I got a free subdomain from https://www.subdomain.com which forwards to my external IP address which I got from searching "my ip" in my browser. The URL for it is https://dragonscurrencyconv.com.nu. Right now it won't get to the app at all because although I've set up port forwarding, my app still can't talk to the Internet publicly. I want to try setting up a reverse proxy again.

The front-end _javascript_ code in my app sends a GET request to the server code I wrote in C++ that asks for the currency API access key so it can use it to get the list of currencies. The path URI for the access key is "/?q=accesskey". I want to configure this on the ProxyPass as well so that it'd route to reverse proxy server correctly. Right now my reverse proxy configuration looks like this:

Options All

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None

Require all granted

</Directory>

ServerAdmin osmanzakir90@xxxxxxxxxxx

ServerName dragonscurrencyconv.com.nu

ServerAlias www.dragonscurrencyconv.com.nu

ErrorLog "logs/dragonscurrencyconv.com.nu-error.log"

CustomLog "logs/dragonscurrencyconv.com.nu-access.log" common

</VirtualHost>

ProxyPass "/" "E:/programming/visual_studio_2017/Projects/currency_converter/x64/Release"

ProxyPass "/?q=accesskey"

Should I put the same path as for the first ProxyPass directive, for the "/" route, for the accesskey route as well, or is that one also wrong? What would the correct one be if so? My app's source code is all on GitHub, here: https://github.com/DragonOsman/currency_converter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
