I'm trying to modify the "Host" request header for a URL that is subject to proxying, but that doesn't seem to work. Setting ProxyPreserveHost On does work, but breaks other parts of the configuration. LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so RewriteEngine On RequestHeader set Host www.somehost.com RewriteRule /cd4(.*) http://www.backend1:8080/cd4$1 [P] result between Apache en backend GET /cd4/survey.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: www.backend.com:8080\r\n Is there something that I'm overlooking? (processing order of modules?)
I don't believe Host can be overridden. It is set just before the request. Why doesn't ProxyPreserveHost work for you? The alternative is to monkey with name resolution on the reverse proxy so that www.somehost.com maps to the IP of www.backend1 and then use www.somehost.com in your RewriteRule.
