Hi

I experience some problem with apache, mod_rewrite and mod_proxy.
I get some timeouts that deny access to the server.
Here is the error message I get:

(70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server XXX
[Wed Nov 17 11:57:09 2010] [error] [client 130.223.50.57] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /YYY/yyy;jsessionid=CB0770CE21131F029565895AC72B921E

It happens when I set this particular rule:
RewriteRule ^/YYY/yyy(.+) /YYY/yyy$1 [P]

To me, this rule doesn't make sense. You are rewriting it to be the same thing as before.

In fact, I want to mask YYY/yyy in URLs, and create an internal, silent, redirection.
e.g.: http://abc.ch/?smth
would be in fact
http://XXX/YYY/yyy?smth

you are reverse proxying from a different host then that host should get mentioned in the rule.

E.g
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80?
ServerName abc.ch

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule / http://XXX/YYY/yyy/ [P,QSA]

</VirtualHost>

QSA would add the query string from the original URL to the rewritten URL.

Maybe I do something wrong. The rule could certainly be more properly written.
But on our development server, I don't get the problem (but apache versions and configurations are a bit different).

Any idea ?
