Proxy parameters to RewriteRule [P]

[Bjørn Stabell <bj...@exoweb.net>]

We're just trying out mod_proxy_balancer now and have come across  
some shortcomings or bugs.  It doesn't seem like we can pass any of  
the Proxy parameters to RewriteRule, e.g.,

	RewriteRule  ^/mbp/(.*) balancer://ourcluster/$1 [P] timeout=20  
nofailover=On stickysession=OUR_COOKIE

doesn't seem to have any effect?  The session is not sticky.  Using  
ProxyPass works, however.

Is there a way to set such settings using RewriteRule?

Rgds,
Bjorn

It didn't work for me as I was running 2.2.1, but I can see from the  
2.2.2 source that it's in there.  It's not documented anywhere I can  
see, however...?

those (proxy) arguments are not part of the RewriteRule 
directive/mod_rewrite.

Try to use

   RewriteRule  ^/mbp/(.*) balancer://ourcluster/$1 [P]
   <Proxy balancer://myCluster>
     .....
     ProxySet stickysession=OUR_COOKIE timeout=20 nofailover=On
   </Proxy>

instead.
