Problem: When using the Light & Heavy Server methods
of processing web delivery, there are several methods of
proxying reques to multiple backend servers (squid,
mod_rewrite, mod_proxy) can be used. And these
seem to work well, but one small issue still crops up.
ProxyPassReverse works as described and modifies
the Location header. Is there something else that
will filter/translate included URL's?
For example
ProxyPass /product/itemA/
http://modperl.internal.com/root/service/path/mason/
ProxyPass /product/itemB/
http://websphere.internal.com/content/product/information/
ProxyPass /customer/Service/
http://iis.internal.com/inetpub//ASP/customer/
Will translate on the way in and the equiv ProxyPassReverse
will modify the Location for the proxied pages going out. What
methods of others used on the Light Server to modify the urls
generated by pages on the backend servers to resemble
http://external.server.com/product/itemB/faq.shtml ?
(pointers to previous discussions or alternative sources
welcomed)
At this point I think that the light server will have to
include mod_perl to search the pages and modifiy
the content. I'd really like to keep the front end
proxy server .. 'light'
