[users@httpd] Help with http proxy and not escaping characters
Hi all,
I'm using Apache 2.2.3 on CentOS 5.3 to proxy a connection to a splunk
installation. I use Apache for http redirection and handling the SSL
communication. Here is my /etc/rc.d/splunk.conf file.
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
RewriteMap unescape int:unescape
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:8080/${unescape:$1} [P]
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
Basically something is wrong with the HTML that's being returned. If I hit
the server directly via port 8080, a href in an anchor tag will have this
value.
/en-US/app/search/@go?s=AFF - Feed Online
However if I use the proxy connection, I get this in the href
/en-US/app/search/@go?s=AFF%20-%20Feed%20Online
How can I tell the http proxy to not escape data coming from the target
splunk python server on port 8080? I tried some rewrite rules according to
some examples to unescape urls coming in as a workaround, but I'm not
getting what I need as the escaped characters are getting passed to splunk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd
