Proxy and header redirection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




   In Apache I can configure a proxy redirect from one URL to another, ej:

   htp://www.somesite.com/test -> http://www.othersite.com/path/to/display/

So that when the user loads up http://www.somesite.com/test they actually see the content of the redirect instead (without the URL getting rewritten.) However, if that redirected URL happens to be a PHP script with a header() statement in it, things go wrong, ej:

http://www.somesite.com/test -> http://www.othersite.com/locate.php?page=test

Assume that locate.php does a header() redirect to /path/to/display/, suddenly the proxy redirect doesn't work, instead the user will see the URL they typed in changed into:

http://www.somesite.com/test -> http://www.somesite.com/path/to/display/ which will cause 404's.

   Does this make any sense, and can someone figure out how to fix this?
