[users@httpd] why would mod_alias eat the query string (1.3.x)
hello list,
I'm very sorry to jump straight in here with a question, but here goes:
I've got a fairly normaly thin-and-thick setup with a mod_perl server
in the background. The thin server on 80 is a reverse proxy for the
mod_perl server on 8081, in the usual way. The only quirk is that for
some directories I'm forcing secure access and bypassing the proxy:
those I redirect to the same mod_perl server, but on port 443.
It all works very nicely except for one thing:
* url with query string proxied to the non-secure port on the
mod_perl server works fine
* url with qs redirected to the secure port on the same server
arrives without the query string
There's quite a big stack of handlers on the mod_perl server,
including a TransHandler, so at first I just assumed I was breaking
the input, but I'm really not: I've been able to make sure that the
request really does come in without the query string.
As it happens this application will accept similar input in the
path_info so I can get by for the few cases where the redirect kicks
in. But I thought mod_alias just ignored the query string? please
could someone suggest why they're getting eaten? It's driving me nuts.
thank you
will

Take the Redirects out of the <Location> section. They don't need to
be there, and I'd give at least even money that this is what is
causing you to lose the query string.

I'm sorry. Here's my semi-complicated host configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/foo/public_html
ServerAdmin sysadmin@spanner.org
ServerName www.foo.org
ServerAlias foo.org
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html index.htm
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / http://www.foo.org:8081/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.foo.org:8081/
CacheRoot /home/foo/html_cache
CacheSize 5000
CacheGcInterval 1
CacheMaxExpire 2
CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 49152
<Location "/">
Redirect permanent /admin https://www.foo.org/admin
# and a few others the same
</Location>
CustomLog /home/foo/logs/access_log combined
ErrorLog /home/foo/logs/error_log
</VirtualHost>
This is 1.3.27 (oops), compiled with suexec, mod_alias, mod_rewrite
and mod_include, and iirc nothing else.
Thanks,
will

There seems to be a rash of people today posting semi-complicated
URL-mapping problems who describe the problem but neglect to show the
configuration they are using or any concrete examples of what is
happening. This makes solving the problem almost impossible.
