svn commit: r1421851 - in /httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod: mod_proxy.xml
mod_proxy_balancer.xml mod_proxy_fcgi.xml mod_proxy_scgi.xml
Author: rjung
Date: Fri Dec 14 13:29:31 2012
New Revision: 1421851
URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1421851&view=rev
Log:
Fix use of trailing slashes in proxy
balancer and member URLs and add a little
explanation.
Current behavior AFAIK:
- Any path of a balancer URL inside <Proxy>
is ignored. So lets not use e.g.trailing slashes
there. The URL should for consistency always
look like balancer://mycluster.
- The general comment about trailing slashes on the
left and right of ProxyPass is also right for
balancer use.
- Trailing slahes in BalancerMember in most cases
lead to double slashes on the origin server.
So lets drop them there and instead get the
ProxyPass to the balancer right.
- Path components in member URLs are only
needed, if different path prefixes are needed
for members in the same balancer (unlikely
but possible). If all members work with the
same non-empty additional prefix, put it
into the ProxyPass at the end of the balancer
instead.
