Luca,
I have been playing with your suggestions. This is what I have added to
httpd.conf as a test case:
----
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteRule Biocomputing/(.*)
http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi:8080/cocoon/Biocomputing/$1 [PT]
----
(The last two lines is actually one line in the file.)
After requesting http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/Biocomputing/users-database,
the rewrite.log shows me this:
----
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Jul/2001:22:56:13 +0300]
[ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/sid#80ad324][rid#80d15dc/initial] (2) init rewrite
engine with requested uri /Biocomputing/users-database
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Jul/2001:22:56:13 +0300]
[ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/sid#80ad324][rid#80d15dc/initial] (3) applying
pattern 'Biocomputing/(.*)' to uri '/Biocomputing/users-database'
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Jul/2001:22:56:13 +0300]
[ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/sid#80ad324][rid#80d15dc/initial] (2) rewrite
/Biocomputing/users-database ->
http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi:8080/cocoon/Biocomputing/users-database
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Jul/2001:22:56:13 +0300]
[ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/sid#80ad324][rid#80d15dc/initial] (2) implicitly
forcing redirect (rc=302) with
http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi:8080/cocoon/Biocomputing/users-database
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Jul/2001:22:56:13 +0300]
[ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/sid#80ad324][rid#80d15dc/initial] (2) forcing
'http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi:8080/cocoon/Biocomputing/users-database' to
get passed through to next API URI-to-filename handler
----
(ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi is the machine at home, behind firewall, and
Biocomputing is an application we are working on, far from complete
right now).
It seems to me that the request
http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi/Biocomputing/users-database is correctly
rewritten as
http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi:8080/cocoon/Biocomputing/users-database.
Still, I get an error message:
----
Found The document has moved here.
Additionally, a 400 Bad Request error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.12 Server at
ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi Port 80
----
In fact, the apache error log file tells me:
[Fri Jul 13 22:56:13 2001] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Invalid URI in
request GET /Biocomputing/users-database HTTP/1.1
----
The request
http://ajuffer-dsl.oulu.fi:8080/cocoon/Biocomputing/users-database
directly to tomcat4
itself works perfectly all right, so no problem there.
So, within Apache the URL Rewriting works ok, but it seems to me that
not a new http request is carried out ("resetting the location header"
as one can do with Javascript), The request remains within Apache.
Cheers,
Andre.
