[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1213) proxy with external api doesn't
work
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1213?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13059305#comment-13059305 ]
Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1213:
--------------------------------------------
Proxy wasn't sending the proper Host header so it was confusing the external web servers.
The question is what to do for local things that want the host info. Should we just set the X-Forwarded-* headers and call it good?

> Key: COUCHDB-1213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1213
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Till Klampaeckel
> Labels: patch, proxy
>
> As discussed on IRC, I'm trying to use an external web API, but every request to the handler produces an infinite loop.
> This is most likely due to not passing on the correct Host header.
> Here's an example:
> _google = {couch_httpd_proxy, handle_proxy_req, <<"http://www.google.com/ig">>}
> Then request with:
> curl -L -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_google/calculator?hl=en&q=100EUR%3D%3FAUD
> Paul Davis did a quick patch: http://friendpaste.com/62T88HOYw8QyaoIJoXEGXr
