[users@httpd] User dir an reverse proxy

["Emmanuel.Leguy" <Emmanuel.Leguy@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

My config:
proxy server: Apache 2.2
real server: Apache 1.3 (2.2 soon)

I would like to reverse proxy requests to userdir (public_html) like that:

http://proxy.domain.fr/~username --> http://realserver.domain.fr/~username

Thoose directives work for that particular 'username':

PassProxy /~username http://realserver.domain.fr/~username
PassProxyReverse /~username http://realserver.domain.fr/~username

But i would like to generalized to all users:

PassProxy /~(.*) http://realserver.domain.fr/~$1
PassProxyReverse /~(.*) http://realserver.domain.fr/~$1

But PassProxy and PassProxyReverse don't process regex...

So I tried rewriting:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/\~(.*) http://realserver.domain.fr/~$1 [proxy,last]

But if the trailing slash is forgotten the realserver redirect the request:

http://proxy.domain.fr/~username --> http://realserver.domain.fr/~username
redirection to http://realserver.domain.fr/~username/

The real server is not visible from the internet so the request fails.

The solution could be that the proxy server does the trailing slash 
redirection instead of the real server. But '~username' is not a 
directory for the proxy server so no trailing slash redirection is done...

How to force the redirection on the proxy?
Is there a solution to my problem?

Thanx,

Manu.
