Re: ProxyPass option mapping=servlet hurts mod_rewrite

Hi Yann,

If the RewriteRule is specified with the option [P] it works correctly. The request

https://example.ort/alpha/gobeta/anypath is sent to the beta backend.

But when I take the option [PT] the behavior changes. Without "mapping=servlet" the

request is sent to the beta backend. With "mapping=servlet" the request is replied

by a 404 NOT FOUND.  -  Is this change of behavior acceptable?

Maybe it is acceptable cause the option [PT] is the wrong choice if I want the request

to be replied by the proxied beta backend.

But some inexperienced admins will run into trouble. (like me ;-)
