[users@httpd] RewriteRule and Environment variables...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've been bashing my head against the wall with this problem for a while now and apart from a headache haven't really got anywhere.

I currently have Apache (2.0.54 but I've tried 2.0.55), built from source, running as an accelerator to several backends. Without getting too deep into how I'll be using it, I'm essentially trying to do:

SetEnv PROTO http
RewriteRule ^/example(.*)$ %{ENV:PROTO}://%{SERVER_NAME}/example$1 [P,L]


Although the docs seem to say it's possible to use Apache environment variables within a RewriteRule I'm not having much luck. The mod_rewrite doc states:

There is the special format: %{ENV:variable} where variable can be any
environment variable. This is looked-up via internal Apache structures
and (if not found there) via getenv() from the Apache server process.

SERVER_NAME gets substituted as expected although the environment variable doesn't.

I see a request of:

GET /://server.example.co.uk/example/ HTTP/1.1

going to the backend server!

If anyone's got any suggestions I'd be glad to give them a go. At present I have a make file generating http and https variants from a template which I'd rather get away from - I usually forget to run make!

Many thanks in advance,


				Neil.
