Further inspection led me to realize that I wasn't actually getting the file back with the incorrect mime type, but I was getting back an actual text/html page...my standard web page. When I looked at the file being returned by wget, it turns out that it is the sites html page. Which makes perfect sense given the conf... > ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ stickysession=BALANCEID nofailover=On > ProxyPassReverse / http://app-01/handler/index.cgi > ProxyPassReverse / http://app-02/handler/index.cgi > > <Proxy balancer://mycluster> > BalancerMember http://app-01/handler/index.cgi route=http1 > BalancerMember http://app-02/handler/index.cgi route=http2 > ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests > </Proxy> is sending all requests to /handler/index.cgi which is where the mod_perl handler is (index.cgi is just a decoy). So, when it tries to go to /media (or anywhere else for that matter) it actually goes to /handler/index.cgi/media which doesn't exist. So, now the real problem, is how do I properly load balance the requests to /media and send them to the right place? One solution is to change the configuration of the mod_perl app servers... The other solution is to add the following directive... ProxyPass /media http://app-01/media Unfortunately though these requests will not be load balanced now. Luckily the media dir is an nfs mount run on a different server, so I am just going to direct the ProxyPass there directly. ProxyPass /media http://nfs/media Maybe not ideal, but it works. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
