I run a research organization's web site and want to distribute some of the perl scripting load to other machine's within our company. I've tried the following in srm.conf:
Redirect /perl/tsunami/ http://tsunami.ip.addr/perl/
Redirect /perl/reef/ http://reef.ip.addr/perl/
Within HTML docs, I reference the redirect with something like
<IMG SRC="/perl/tsunami/createGif.pl">
where createGif.pl is a perl script to build an image based on data most easily munched by machine tsunami. This works fine, but if I pass CGI vars such as
<IMG SRC="/perl/tsunami/createGif.pl?var=somevalue">
the receiving server (here tsunami) never sees var or its value. The access log on the primary server reports
"GET /perl/tsunami/creageGif.pl?var=somevalue HTTP/1.0" 302 -
whereas the redirected server reports
"GET /perl/tsunami/creageGif.pl HTTP/1.0" 500 -
the error (500) due to the absence of the variable var.
The Apache documentation (patch E25) leads me to believe the CGI vars are made available to the redirected script. What am I doing wrong?
