Hi Everybody, [Fedora Core 3, httpd 2.0.52]as many of us, I periodically see in my logs an attempt to check the proxy capabilities of my server, namely the request "CONNECT 1.3.3.7:1337 HTTP/1.0".
I would expect the request to fail with a result of 4xx (405 to be exact). With my surprise, I found that the request succeded with a result of 301 (redirect permanently) instead. As the redirected URL contained the string "/mailman/info" I quickly understood that the problem was in the configuration of one of my virtual hosts (the one that handles mailman lists):
-------------- <VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80> ServerName lists ServerAlias lists.* UseCanonicalName Off RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(mailman/?)?$ /mailman/listinfo [R=permanent,L] [rest omitted for brevity] </VirtualHost> --------------The one above is the only occurrence of "RewriteEngine On" in my whole configuration.
It seems that the CONNECT request has been processed by mod_rewrite according to a directive that should be restricted to my named-based virtual host. This looks very fishy to me.
As a workaround, I added
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$
before the RewriteRule, yet I think my original configuration had
nothing wrong and Apache should have behaved differently.
Is it a bug in Apache? Has it been fixed in 2.0.53 (o later)? Am I missing something?
