Hi all , Reverse Proxying is working fine on our DMZ Apache (2.0.59) for various URLs / internal sites including those with a ! special character in them . However 1 internal site returns a long (50 character) string with ! = ~ special characters and always gives a proxy error . I've tried escaping in the Rewite rule wth \=\~ with no luck . Is this the right approach to special characters? The rewrite log seems to show the correct re-write ...is there a way to show a meaningful error in Apache logs ? P.S. as soon as i work out how to respond to answers to my posts I'll give some technical feedback to all the good advice.
