Hi, we are having the following RewriteRule entry configured RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://HOSTNAME/$1 [P]which generally seems to work, all incoming requests are forwarded to the indicated machine, not as redirect but utilising mod_proxy.The problem starts to occur when a URL contains a question mark /SOMEPATH?/ANOTHERPATHthese URLs do not seem to be proxied through but are actually sent as regular HTTP redirect to the client. I noticed that by separating the question mark - like /SOMEPATH/?/ANOTHERPATH - it doesn't show this behaviour but again works like mod_proxy.Would anyone have an explanation for this behaviour?
The first thing that comes to mind is that you have a Redirect header being sent by the back-end. Make sure that you have a ProxyPassReverse that matches the initial Proxy request so that redirects are intercepted and fixed up.
In this case, SOMEPATH? is probably getting redirected to SOMEPATH/ index.html?/ANOTHERPATH, for example.
