Hi Sam,

i have had the same problem and i
resolve it for me with a source
change inside "mod_proxy_balancer.c"

In the function "get_path_param"
i made the stickyness parameter from
the apache config [JESSIONID] lowercase,
because here you will get everytime
the identifier as "jsessionid".

If is anybody out there which knows some

better and easier way, i am glad to know it. 

Greetings

Thanks Oliver,

Your reply prompted me to look at the relevant code which is exactly 

where I need to start I believe. Now I know that mod_proxy_balancer does 

inspect the URL looking for a session id parameter which is the most 

important thing.

I still don't really understand why it isn't working. Are you saying 

that mod_proxy_balancer sees only lowercase URL parameter names? So that 

'SID' won't work but 'sid' will? Do you know why this is?

If it is not too inconvenient, can you send your patch details so that I 

can see exactly what change you made in mod_proxy_balancer.c?

Thanks for your help,
- Sam
