Can you please reverse the order of your ProxyPassReverse directives in the test (such that the one with the port comes first in the configuration).

I agree that the result you see is not correct. BTW: ProxyPassReverse does not change anything to your balancer setup.

I'm not even sure whether this is correct in terms of configuration - the docs speak of 'url' as argument to BalancerMember so I guess giving the port is ok. However, when accessing /path this does not do anything different then without adding the ':443' line. The original problem was that Location headers like Location: https://mybackend.local:443/path/file?query<https://myserver:443/path/file?query> are being rewritten to Location: https://myfrontend.local/:443/path/file?query which is nonsense. Based on your example I replaced the usage of the balancer argument with ProxyPass /path https://mybackend.local ProxyPassReverse /path https://mybackend.local ProxyPassReverse /path https://mybackend.local:443 and it will rewrite the above mentioned Location header to https://myfrontend.local/path:443/path/file?query which is just as wrong.

November 2013 17:11 To: dev@httpd.apache.org<mailto:dev@httpd.apache.org> Subject: ap_proxy_location_reverse_map() I've been debugging some problems with incorrectly reverse mapped Location headers and found some backend servers (e.g. OWA for Exchange 2013) to give headers like Location: https://myserver:443/path/file?query which I think are perfectly fine. mod proxy fails to do the trick because else { const char *part = url; l2 = strlen(real); if (real[0] == '/') { part = ap_strstr_c(url, "://"); if (part) { part = ap_strchr_c(part+3, '/'); if (part) { l1 = strlen(part); } else { part = url; } } else { part = url; } } > if (l1 >= l2 && strncasecmp(real, part, l2) == 0) { u = apr_pstrcat(r->pool, ent[i].fake, &part[l2], NULL); return ap_is_url(u) ? u : ap_construct_url(r->pool, u, r); } } which does not take the port behind the domain name into consideration (note: simple example setup, fake path is just '/' obviously). I looked over the code and got the feeling the same problem applies to the whole section, not just that one strncasecmp() call. Since the port given by the backend server is not much use to the reverse proxy at that point, we can just drop it on the floor and continue, e.g. like this --- a/modules/proxy/proxy_util.c +++ b/modules/proxy/proxy_util.c @@ -894,11 +894,17 @@ PROXY_DECLARE(const char *) ap_proxy_location_reverse_map(request_rec *r, } } else if (l1 >= l2 && strncasecmp((*worker)->s->name, url, l2) == 0) { + const char* tmp_pchar = url + l2; + if (url[l2] == ':') { + tmp_pchar = ap_strchr_c(tmp_pchar, '/'); + } + /* edge case where fake is just "/"... avoid double slash */ - if ((ent[i].fake[0] == '/') && (ent[i].fake[1] == 0) && (url[l2] == '/')) { - u = apr_pstrdup(r->pool, &url[l2]); + if ((ent[i].fake[0] == '/') && (ent[i].fake[1] == 0) && + (tmp_pchar != NULL) && (tmp_pchar[0] == '/')) { + u = apr_pstrdup(r->pool, tmp_pchar); } else { - u = apr_pstrcat(r->pool, ent[i].fake, &url[l2], NULL); + u = apr_pstrcat(r->pool, ent[i].fake, tmp_pchar + 1, NULL); } return ap_is_url(u) ? u : ap_construct_url(r->pool, u, r); As said above this most likely needs to be spread to the other cases in that section as well. Anyone see problems with this ?
