[users@httpd] Apache 2.0.54 reverse proxy dropping cookie domain

["Beynon, Sharon" <Sh...@allstream.com>]

Using proxy on apache 2.0.54 on Solaris 9 with the configure options
below doesn't pass through my SSO cookies.. I'm not sure if it drop the
whole thing or just drops domain and path.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --enable-proxy
--enable-rewrite --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE

I've search issues.apache.org and this is the closest bug:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10722

I've tried to apply that patch, but that didn't seem to affect the
path/domain. The domain is vital for passing around the SSO cookie, it
must match. 

I notice huge changes in mod proxy in 2.1, but 2.1 wont load the SSO
module we're using.. And I don't have the expertise to change the
mod_proxy code to added the cookie related updates (not without 10
billion different errors I don't understand).

I then tried building both httpd 2.0.54 and 2.1.3 with
--enable-proxy=static to see if I could use the 2.1 proxy .so files. For
2.1 it gave me an ld error, and 2.0 it built correctly it only generated
.a and .la files - no .so ?. 

(I don't know if the rule SHARED_CORE is affecting that, but it's always
been a requirement to get the SSO module to load.)

What is the correct way to generate the proxy .so ? Is it possible to
use the 2.1 proxy in 2.0.54 ? Is there anywhere on the net to find these
modules?
