Content Negotiation
All,
I was wondering if anyone out there knows some way that I could
get apache to do some content negotiation. Basically I have a UNIX
webserver running apache that fits all of my needs. But, I am starting to
use asp and ColdFusion. I have setup an NFS share on my UNIX machine to
share the data with a win2k machine but I still need to figure out a
way to have the win2k machine proccess the asp and CF pages and send them
back to the visitor through the unix machine. I was thinking mod_proxy may
be able to do what I need but I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas??
Here is a brief example of what I am trying to do:
http://foo.com/index.(php\html\cgi\shtml) -> served by UNIX
http://foo.com/index.(asp\cfm) -> served by windows

Re: Content Negotiation
Posted by Daniel Lopez <da...@rawbyte.com>.
You can have the microsoft and cold fusion machines behind Apache.
You then configure Apache as a reverse proxy for those file extensions that
you want windows to serve:
client ----> Apache -----> Windows
You can do the selection of which files to reverse proxy using either
<location> blocks or mod_rewrite
Have a look at the apache docs for mod_rewrite, proxypass, proxypassreverse
The mod_rewrite docs have a set of practical scenarios that you will find
useful
Best regards
