DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50502] New: It should be possible to use ProxyPreserveHost inside a block

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50502

           Summary: It should be possible to use ProxyPreserveHost inside
                    a <Location> block
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: filbranden@gmail.com


Hi,

I have an enhancement to propose in mod_proxy/mod_proxy_http.

It should be possible to use ProxyPreserveHost inside a <Location> block, which
would be useful when using ProxyPass without a path parameter and sending
different subpaths to different hosts.

Example:

ProxyPass /test http://test.example.com

<Location /virtual>
  ProxyPreserveHost on
  ProxyPass http://virtual.example.com/virtual
</Location>

That way http://something.example.com/test/index.html would be proxied to
http://test.example.com/index.html with Host: test.example.com, but
http://something.example.com/virtual/subdir/index.html would be proxied to the
exact same URL, connecting on virtual.example.com:80, but sending Host:
something.example.com.

BTW, this request is based on a real situation I have, I have a proxy with two
backends for different purposes, one of them uses the Host: header content
inside the generated HTML, so I'd like to use ProxyPreserveHost on for it, the
other one uses the Host: header to decide what is the physical location of the
server (in short, it depends on a certain virtual host to be accessed) and I
would like to have ProxyPreserveHost off for those ProxyPass directives. To fix
the issue the one that uses the name passed in the Host: header inside the
generated HTML will be fixed to use relative URLs (which is the right way to
fix that) but I guess Apache should keep the flexibility of using different
settings of ProxyPreserveHost in different contexts.

Thanks,
Filipe

This already works in trunk as of r824072. Not sure how likely it is to be
backported to 2.2.x.
