Or, in other words, subrequests are not getting proxied.

 

Yes, SubRequests are not getting Proxied from SSI calls.

This looks quite bogus to me.  As far as I know, there is no [OR]
option to RewriteRule.  And you shouldn't be escaping forward slashes
in your regex.  I'm surprised this works at all.

 

Yes, it works. However, if I comment the line:

#RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png|txt|css|js|ico|swf)$ [OR]

 

that also suits my purpose.

 

About escaping of forward slashes, point noted, Thanks.
 

On the original problem of subrequests and proxies, I don't recall
whether or not this works correctly.  I imagine it should.

 

But, the original problem still remains. How do I force the subrequest due to SSI call from within a request getting served from Front Apache to go to Back Apache?

Joshua.

Thanks Joshua for your response.
 

But, I am still waiting for more expert hints.
