[users@httpd] Rewrite "Location:" header.
Hi,
I wanted to modify the "Location:" header in 30X http responses using apache
2,
but failed to find a good solution.
In mod_headers I can unset the header and set a new one, but I can't use
a regular expression to modify his original value.
thanks for any idea.

You need a "ProxyPassReverse statement.

You have the standard reverse proxy setup.

Sounds like your reverse proxy is not an apache server? (SSL offload engine?)
This reverse proxy does not rewrite your Location header in the 302 response.
Ugly hack. You might solve this by setting ServerName
https://www.toto.com and enabling UseCanonicalName On, this will force
redirects to be pointing to https://www.toto.com.

sorry, you're right I need to give some explanation
I have an apache server behind a reverse proxy,
The reverse-proxy handles ssl connexion and send the request to the apache
server.
But when the apache server send an redirect with a Location header, the
reverse-proxy
didn't rewrite the value of this header.
1/ So the client access for example https://www.toto.com
2/ the reverse proxy handles the ssl connexion, and send the request to
apache server
So apache server receive a request on http://www.toto.com site
3/ Apache server send a redirect to http://www.toto.com/document
4/ the reverse proxy send to the client the redirect as-is without rewriting
it to https://www.toto.com/document
So, I wanted to solve this problem by rewriting the Location header before
apache server send the
response headers.
thank you.

Yes you can. Header edit. Provided you have an up-to-date version.
But the usual reason for rewriting a Location is in a reverse proxy
situation, where there are better solutions. As Joshua said, you
need to tell us what you're really doing.

Your question is rather vague since it is hard to tell where the
Location header is coming from and at what stage you want it
rewritten.
Why don't you tell us what you are trying to accomplish?
