Could it possibly be because ProxyPass is evaluated before RewriteRule ? How does the following work : RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub/wiv?seoName=$1 [P,QSA] RewriteRule /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub [P] ProxyPassReverse /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Pete Lamborne [mailto:pete@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 6:48 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] rewrite gurus help? (with mod_proxy_ajp) Hey all, There is very little info out there on this so far, given how new mod_proxy_ajp is. One post I found seemed to indicate the same bug with no solution.... The problem is that I can't get mod_rewrite to work transparently with mod_proxy_ajp. It either doesn't work at all (when I don't specify :proxy or [P]), or works like a redirect, changing the URL in the user's browser. Here's a quick conf: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ /pub/wiv?seoName=$1 [P] ProxyPass /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub ProxyPassReverse /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub Here's something else I tried with the same results: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ proxy:ajp://dev3:8009/pub/wiv?seoName=$1 ProxyPass /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub ProxyPassReverse /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub Both of these solutions work, but replace the pretty URL with the ugly one for the end-user. I want it to be transparent to the user. What am I missing? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
