Owen,Sorry about the HTML, I was using Outlook Web Access, which doesn't let you choose plaintext as a formatting option. I had to create an account on my own private web server just to post in plaintext. Again, sorry, I didn't know it was HTML.
Before I get into the directives, I have changed the domain names and ports... where backend or gateway are used in directived, I am using the actual domain name for that server.
Here are the mod_proxy rules I am using on the gateway server:
~~~
<Location /vqwiki-2.7.1>
ProxyPass http://backend:4080/vqwiki-2.7.1/
ProxyPassReverse http://backend:4080/vqwiki-2.7.1/
SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
~~~
Here are the mod_rewrite rules I was using in a virtual host on port 80,
when I was trying to re-write http to https requests:
~~~
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
SSLEngine Off
Redirect / https://gateway/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
</VirtualHost>
ServerName gate.platinumsolutions.com:80
UseCanonicalName Off
~~~
There are more directives, the ssl-specific ones are in a separate conf
file. Let me know if you need to see anything from there.
I have one more thing for you... the headers on the redirect request (from LiveHTTPHeaders extension on Firefox). You'll notive in the 302 response headers that the Location header has http:// instead of https://... this is the matter that is driving me crazy and am trying to solve. Here they are:
~~~ https://gateway/vqwiki-2.7.1/jsp/test2.jsp?action=redirect GET /vqwiki-2.7.1/jsp/test2.jsp?action=redirect HTTP/1.1 Host: gatewayUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5

April 2005 16:09 To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Apache Reverse Proxy / Redirect IssueHello everybody. I am new here, was hoping to post a problem I am having, would love to hear some input. I've been dealing with this problem for a while now and it's driving me nuts, haven't been able to find the problem.I have a gateway server that is running OpenBSD and Apache 2 and is set up with mod_ssl and mod_proxy. The only listen port is 443. I have it configured so that a bunch of requests are handled by a backend server, running on port 4080. Something like https://gateway/resourceA maps to http://backendserver:4080/resourceA. I have ProxyPass to handle requests, and ProxyPassReverse to handle the redirects. However, ProxyPassReverse doesn't seem to be doing it's job, because redirects are not working properly.Let me explain what I mean. Let's say, for example, that resourceA/test1.html redirects in the backend server to resourceA/test2.html. When I request https://gateway/resourceA/test1.html, I would expect to get https://gateway/resourceA/test2.html. However, instead what happens is that the redirect generates a request on port 80, or http://gateway/resourceA/test2.html. This, of course, times out because my Apache instance on my gateway server is not listening on port 80, nor is my firewall allowing communication on port 80 to this gateway server.I tried opening up port 80 on my firewall, listening on port 80, and writing some mod_rewrite directives to redirect requests on http:// to https://. This does not work. The redirect generated is still for port 80 (it is not getting re-written to https), and of course it can't find any such resource on the gateway server, so I get a 403 back (which is odd, I would have expected 404, but I am getting a forbidden HTTP code back).I suspect this has to do with how I am setting up the servername directive. Right now I have it set up as gateway:80 (I am using the actual domain, not the word 'gateway' but the actual domain is not important). If I change it to gateway:443, I get a bunch of errors logged that say "warning: running http over an https port" or something like that.I don't know if I've said enough to characterize the problem. I've searched the net and usenet groups up and down looking for an answer, but I've yet to find a solution. Please help!!Thanks, Daniel -- Daniel A. Silva Senior Consultant, PlatinumSolutions, Inc.
