mod_jk and rewrite changed behaviour from 1.2.18 ->1.2.23

[Thomas Hartwig <t....@itth.com>]

Recently I tried to update the mod_jk module for a debian system to 
version 1.2.18 of the jk connector. All compiling went through but I 
have problems with some changes in conjunction with the rewrite 
functionality of apache I assume.

In the past I did some internal [PT] (proxy pass through) requests to 
map a shtml path to a tomcat struts application (see setup below). 
Unfortunately this is not working any more in 1.2.23.

My setup worked with 1.2.18, but 1.2.23 fails with a tomcat file not 
found error: some.shtml could not be found.

Does somebody know this? And can give me a hint how to achieve a similar 
functionality?

Thanks
Thomas


My setup looks like this:

JkMount         /gototomcat/*   ajp13_worker

<VirtualHost somehost>
	ProxyRequests Off
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteRule /some.shtml /gototomcat/action.do [PT]
</VirtualHost>

Try adding
JkOptions ForwardURICompat

1.2.23 has as default ForwardURICompatUnparsed to be able to
deal with some security attacks (see 1.2.13 announcement)
I'm not very happy with that and we'll release 1.2.24 that will
again have ForwardURICompat as default.
