[users@httpd] Dynamic proxying with mod_rewrite, problems with reverse proxy
Hi, I have run into a snag with mod_rewrite and proxying. I want to
have a RewriteRule that proxies a dynamic site (based on a map) which
works fine except that I need reverse proxying turned on. So far I have
not been able to come up with a solution. Any ideas, other than specifying
ProxyPassReverse directives (which if I have to do that I might as well
just use mod_proxy and ditch the dynamic part)?
Problems arise when the backend server sends a 301 redirect, causing the
browser to attempt to bypass the proxy as mod_rewrite isn't modifying the
301.
I'm using Apache 1.3.33 on FreeBSD.
Thanks,
Atle

That's exactly the job of ProxyPassReverse, mod_rewrite cannot adjust
things in the HTTP-Response, it acts only in HTTP-Request. I don't think
that there is an other way...

Trying a mid-week repost... Seems to me it would be beneficial to be able
to do reverse proxying with mod_rewrite without adding specific
ProxyPassReverse directives.
