Hello Krist,


Yes I have: it's for Apache 2.2 and does not have an equivalent in Apache
2.0 it seems.

So my question boils down to: what is a valid Apache 2.0 workaround for
the functionality offered by proxypassreversecookiedomain and
proxypassreversecookiepath, given that I cannot upgrade to Apache 2.2 and
cannot modify the proxied server (e.g. change anything about the generated
cookies) ?


Kind regards,
Pieter

It seems that once again, the much-maligned language named perl, and its 
much underestimated mod_perl module, could be of help.
Do you know perl ?
Is installing mod_perl on the proxy an option ?

Now I must add, the question is, if mod_perl would be an option, then 
why would upgrading the Apache 2.0 to 2.2 not be one ?
All being considered, it's probably easier than adding mod_perl to the 
existing server.

Somewhere in bugzilla (issues.apache.org) there's a patch for 2.0.
