Re: [users@httpd] Question about Apache RewriteCond Syntax on Proxy Configuration

[Paula Nousiainen <paula.nousiainen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank You Joshua for commenting
my proxy settings. 

>> Exactly what types of request
do you want to go to what place? 

My goal for this set up is to 

1) run jsp pages from the main web server
Helsinki, 
where is the application process, which
communicates with Oracle database.

2) From Madison Apache Proxy site, I
would like to use files
- eMatrixAppletDownloadXML.jar
- SwingDownload.jar
- eMatrixAppletDownload.cab
- SwingDownload.cab
- Matrix.class
- all files ending with jpg, gif, pdf, png, zip, tgz,
gz, html, htm, css and js 

Everything else, that is NOT specified
above, I want to use from Helsinki Main web server.
What would be the correct syntax ?
I tried following, which is not working:

ProxyPassReverse / http://sun-MADISON:7003/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/usr/local/apache2-2.0.52/logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(eMatrixAppletDownloadXML.jar|SwingDownload.jar|eMatrixAppletDownload.cab|SwingDownload.cab|Matrix.class|jpg|gif|pdf|png|zip|tgz|gz|html|htm|css|js)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://sun-MADISON:7003/$1
[P]

Attached is the rewrite.log.

br,
Paula

Well, your problem is not clearly specified.  Exactly what types of
request do you want to go to what place?  Obviously the above
RewriteConds are bad: Any request will match either one or the other. 
If what you want to do is exclude all those jars and other extensions
from the proxy,then simply remove the [OR] to get the proper logic.

In general, you should always use the RewriteLog to help debug
mod_rewrite problems.

Joshua.
