vhost configuration

[Ask Bjoern Hansen <as...@develooper.com>]

Hi,

ARgh, excuse me for the low cluerate. I've spend hours without
getting anything to work now so I am asking for a little hint.

I want my Apache to find the VirtualHost based on the X-ServerName
header (sent from my proxy) instead of the Host header. Sounds
simple enough, no?

So I've configured apache like:

...
Listen 127.0.0.1:8360
NameVirtualHost *

<virtualhost _default_>
    ServerName dev.site1.com
    ServerAlias site1.develooper.com
    PerlSetVar site site1
    DocumentRoot /home/web/htdocs/site1/
</virtualhost>

<virtualhost _default_>
    ServerName  dev.site2.com
    ServerAlias site2.develooper.com
    PerlSetVar site site2
    DocumentRoot /home/web/htdocs/site2/
</virtualhost>
...

I have a mod_perl PostReadRequest handler that among other things does
this:

  my $host = $r->header_in('X-ServerName');
  $r->hostname($host) if $host;


so when I do a request for http://site2.develooper.com/ it goes nicely
through the proxy and get the right X- header set to dev.site2.com and
such, but the backend httpd (with the above configuration) doesn't
pick up the virtualhost. 

So one of two:

  The virtualhost is picked before PostReadRequest is being invoked.

  My <virtualhost ...> configuration isn't right.

The basic goal is to work around mod_proxy setting the Host header to
Host: localhost:8360. (Maybe it could be accomplished in a simpler
way :-/ ).

all the vhost stuff is done before the post_read_request (see
ap_read_request()).
