[users@httpd] Reverse Proxy --- Exchange

I'm running Apache/1.3.31.  I have the following mods:

  http_core.c
  mod_env.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_mime.c
  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_status.c
  mod_include.c
  mod_autoindex.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_cgi.c
  mod_asis.c
  mod_imap.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_access.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_proxy.c
  mod_so.c
  mod_setenvif.c
  mod_ssl.c
  mod_php4.c

I'm trying to do a reverse proxy with an exchange server (Exchange
2003).  When I attempt to connect, I receive a framed page back, and
both frames give me "Action canceled" errors on them.

The proxy entries are:

        ProxyPass /mail http://server.domain.local/exchange
        ProxyPassReverse /mail http://server.domain.local/exchange

I've successfully proxied to non IIS servers, so I know that I've got
proxying in general working.

Any hints?  Do I need to upgrade to apache 2.x?

Thanks.  That didn't work.  I'm not making much sense of the logs either.
Nothing in the error_log at all, and nothing in the access_log stands out.

Could be any number of things going on here.  You need to check the
logs and perhaps inspect the traffic directly.

But one thing you can try is to replace /mail with /exchange in your
ProxyPass lines.  By keeping the path exactly parallel on the front
and back-end servers, you eliminate some problems caused by absolute
URLs breaking out of the proxy.
