[users@httpd] ProxyPass, RedirectMatch and double slashes

[Mark Watts <m....@eris.qinetiq.com>]

I've got a pair of Apache 2.2.13 boxes.
One is acting as a load balancer (mod_proxy_balancer), proxying requests
to the back-end server. Eventually a second back-end server will be
commissioned.


On the proxy I have the following config:


<Proxy balancer://static-web>
	BalancerMember  http://sweb01 loadfactor=1
	ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
</Proxy>
 
ProxyPass          /  balancer://static-web/
ProxyPassReverse   /  balancer://static-web/
 
 
On the back-end server I have the following:

RedirectMatch ^/$ /output/index.html


When a request to http://www.example.com/ is made (using wget), I see
the following:

Proxy:

192.168.1.1 - - [14/Oct/2009:11:08:30 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 302 229
"-" "Wget/1.10.2"
192.168.1.1 - - [14/Oct/2009:11:08:30 +0000]
"GET //output/uk-home-page.html HTTP/1.0" 200 15750 "-" "Wget/1.10.2"


Back-end Server:

172.16.20.11 - - [14/Oct/2009:11:08:30 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 229
"-" "Wget/1.10.2"
172.16.20.11 - - [14/Oct/2009:11:08:30 +0000]
"GET /output/uk-home-page.html HTTP/1.1" 200 15750 "-" "Wget/1.10.2"


Can anyone help me understand where the extra / is coming from on the
Proxy?

Mark.
