#1076: [webui] 1.2.x - impossible to reverse proxy with apache
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: orbisvicis | Owner: damoxc
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: 1.2.0
Component: webui | Version: 1.2.0_dev
Keywords: webui, regression |
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
The 1.1.x webui included a command-switch to dynamically change the
webroot - that is, prefix all urls and redirects with a base url (did it
work for all headers/cookies, or only redirects?). See http://forum
.deluge-torrent.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10165&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p53605
1.2.x does not offer this, and because 1.2.x uses ajax/xmlhttprequest it
is not possible to reverse proxy deluge-web behind apache, for several
reasons:
1) Javascript does not preserve the REFERER Header. Apache mod_rewrite
rules such as the following will no longer work.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} protocol://some.website.uri:port/deluge/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/deluge/.*
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /deluge/$1 [PT]
(notice that without tracking the Referer, Rewrite rules most likely would
conflict with other webapps)
2) Apache substitute filters are somewhat broken. The following will not
work (to rewrite the urls in the xml[ajax],css,javascript,and html)
FilterProvider text_inflate inflate resp=Content-Type $text
FilterChain +text_inflate
FilterProvider html_sed sed resp=Content-Type $html
FilterChain +html_sed
OutputSed s#url(["']\([^"']\{1,\}\)["'])#url(/deluge\1)#
FilterProvider js_sed sed resp=Content-Type $javascript
FilterChain +js_sed
OutputSed
s#'\(\(/[a-zA-Z]\{1,\}\)\{1,\}/[a-zA-Z]\{1,\}\.[a-zA-Z]\{2,3\}\)'#'/deluge\1'#
FilterProvider xml_sed sed resp=Content-Type $xml
FilterChain +xml_sed
OutputSed
s#\(\(/[a-zA-Z]\{1,\}\)\{1,\}/[a-zA-Z]\{1,\}\.[a-zA-Z]\{2,3\}\)#/deluge\1#
FilterProvider css_sed sed resp=Content-Type $css
FilterChain +css_sed
OutputSed s#url(\([^)]\{1,\}\))#url(/deluge\1)#
FilterProvider text_deflate deflate resp=Content-Type $text
FilterChain +text_deflate
(notice in this case the limitation with mod_proxy_html: it does not parse
inline css. That's why it is also necessary to rewrite the html.)
This is why I'm asking for a 1.2.x re-implementation of this very critical
1.1.x feature.
