[users@httpd] Reverse proxy by file ext / type
Hello :)
I have httpd running for a web interface to a like control site and all
requests to access users files are reverse proxied to a windows box due
to the requirment for asp support.
Everything is working fine although I would just like to add support for
perl scripts using mod_perl
I have a freebsd box running on this network that has the ablity to
parse perl files through mod_perl and apache, however, I dont want the
users to have to goto a different address to just parse perl scripts so
I would like to setup the already setup apache that is proxying
everything to a given domain to the win box.
I would like to set it up so if a request for a file with a ext of .pl
it will get proxied to the freebsd box and not the win box.
or .. i would like the same but for anything thats under
http://domain/userid/perl/ but for every user.
I would also like to keep the configuration as simple as possiable as it
is already starting to get quite complicated.
Does anybody know how this can be done?
Cheers,
Matt.

As an alternative to what Joshua said, you could use <LocationMatch>
to define your URL spaces and avoid the need for mod_rewrite.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.pl)$ http://perl-box.example.com/userid/$1[P,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://other-box.example.com/$1 [P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://other-box.example.com/
(Your problem isn't well-specified enough to do a complete
configuration, but that should give you an idea.)
Note that the ProxyPassReverse directive can only work for one of
those. So you would need to be careful that the perl scripts didn't
generate redirects that need rewriting.
Joshua.
