[users@httpd] problem with mod_rewrite rewiterule with [P](internal proxying)

[Ravish Agarwal <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,



We are using apache WebServer version 2.0.55 on HP-UX version 11iand
we are trying to redirect the requests to another WebServer on the
same host



We have made the following entries in the httpd.conf file.



ProxyRequests On

ProxyPass /metso http://mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com:7003/metso



ProxyPassReverse /metso http://mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com:7003/metso

SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

ProxyPreserveHost On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}
(.*\.jsp$)|(.*/servlet/.*)|(.*/workspace/.*)|(.*\.do$)

RewriteRule ^/metso/(.*) http://mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com:7003/metso/$1 [P].





But this returns the http-404 message. Entries in the rewrite.log says

192.168.251.204 - - [06/Jul/2006:13:08:21 +0300]
[mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com/sid#400aeb58][rid#4030d888/initial] (2) init
rewrite engine with requested uri /metso/login.jsp

192.168.251.204 - - [06/Jul/2006:13:08:21 +0300]
[mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com/sid#400aeb58][rid#4030d888/initial] (3)
applying pattern '^/metso/(.*)' to uri '/metso/login.jsp'

192.168.251.204 - - [06/Jul/2006:13:08:21 +0300]
[mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com/sid#400aeb58][rid#4030d888/initial] (2)
rewrite /metso/login.jsp ->
http://mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com:7003/metso/login.jsp

192.168.251.204 - - [06/Jul/2006:13:08:21 +0300]
[mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com/sid#400aeb58][rid#4030d888/initial] (2)
forcing proxy-throughput with
http://mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com:7003/metso/login.jsp

192.168.251.204 - - [06/Jul/2006:13:08:21 +0300]
[mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com/sid#400aeb58][rid#4030d888/initial] (1)
go-ahead with proxy request
proxy:http://mgtpdma3.rau.valmet.com:7003/metso/login.jsp [OK]



But the loging page is not shown at all.



However it we remove the [P] tag. Then the external redirection works
fine. But our requirement is to do the redirection through internal
proxy so that end-user does know about the same.



Please help me out.

Thank and Regards
Ravish Agarwal
