Yes you will need the ProxyPassReverse in order to rewrite the Location headers of potential redirections. The RewriteRule will not take care of that. -ascs ________________________________ From: Oliver.Schaudt@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:Oliver.Schaudt@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 12:50 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: AW: [users@httpd] rewrite gurus help? (with mod_proxy_ajp) Hi Pete, Put an "L" inside the line with the "asx" -Line, so that Apache knows this will be the "last " Rule. Than with RewriteRules you don't need "ProxyPassReverse" Than check these [ist is only inserted an ",L" before the "]": RewriteEngine on RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub/wiv?seoName=$1 [P,QSA,L] RewriteRule /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub [P] Another possibility will be to change the URI and than pass it with the next RewriteRule (should be the same like the things above). Check it and tell me if it is working RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "!^seoName" RewriteRule /pub/wiv/(.*).asx$ /pub/wiv?seoName=$1 [QSA,PT] RewriteRule /pub ajp://theTomcatBox:8009/pub [P] At the momemt i use mod_jk to the back tomcat, but i will check this with mod_proxy_ajp as well. Here i use it with a rewrite of the actual URI an this i transparent to the Clients Browser, They never see /b/ in their browsers RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "!^/abc/def" RewriteRule ^/abc/(.*)$ /abc/def/$1 [PT] JkMount /abc* ajp13_tomcat Ciao Oliver Von: Pete Lamborne [mailto:pete@xxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Mi 04.01.2006 17:53 An: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: Re: [users@httpd] rewrite gurus help? (with mod_proxy_ajp) Yes, but as you could see from my code sample, there are no redirects. There is a proxypass preceded by a rewrite rule. That is why I feel that the interaction between mod_proxy_ajp and mod_rewrite is buggy -- as far as I can tell, the behavior I'm getting is not due to an improper configuration. Is anyone else out there using apache 2.2 with mod_rewrite and mod_proxy_ajp to pass to tomcat? I'd really like to hear other people's experience and see their config.
