[users@httpd] Excluding a directory from mod_proxy (apache 1.3)

[Matt Blasinski <ma...@doit.wisc.edu>]

Hi,

I'm using mod_proxy to proxy the document root to another port on the 
same machine with Apache 1.3.

     ProxyPass / http://localhost:180/
     ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:180/

This works fine and as expected, you get the page at that port/location 
rather than it attempting to access this URL through port 80.  I would 
like to exclude a subdirectory from being proxied, that is, to use /sub 
on the original host and port instead of port 180.

According to 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#ProxyPass, for 
Apache 2, I could do this with the following config:

     ProxyPass /sub !
     ProxyPassReverse /sub !

I haven't been able to get this to work with 1.3 (the docs don't mention 
!, so that seems correct), and was wondering if there's a workaround for 
this.  Simply adding Alias or Directory directives didn't seem to work.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to exclude a subdirectory from 
being proxied in Apache 1.3?

Thanks,

Matt

Use mod_rewrite for this.

I have the following running without any problems:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sub/.* [NC]
[Possibly some more rewritecond's]
RewriteRule /(.*) http://localhost:180/$1 [P,L]
