I'd like to write a handler that would serve big files out of a local
cache but proxy everything else through to another server. The situation
is that there is an extranet in the US, but a lot of folks in New
Zealand need access to the file downloads. I don't want to replicate the
whole installation in NZ, but instead, give them a seperate server with
mod_proxy set up so that when they request most pages it proxies them
through from the main server, but when they ask for a really big file in
the /uploads path that it can pull it out of local cache.
Here's what I have so far:
package CacheHandler;
use Apache2::Request;
use Apache2::Const;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
if ($r->uri =~ m/^\/uploads/) {
my $path = "/data/cache".$r->uri;
if (-f $path) {
# make it serve up this local file since it exists
}
}
else {
my $real_url = $r->unparsed_uri;
$r->proxyreq(1);
$r->uri($real_url);
$r->filename("proxy:$real_url");
$r->handler('proxy-server');
}
return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
}
1;
And then you don't need ProxyPass anymore.
See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_proxyreq_ for
more details
And here's the virtual host I've set up:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName extranet
SSLProxyEngine on
DocumentRoot "/data/cache"
ProxyPass / https://example.com/
PerlModule CacheHandler
PerlInitHandler CacheHandler
</VirtualHost>
What can I add into my handler to make it circumvent the ProxyPass
directive? Or if I can't do that, how can I tell it to enable ProxyPass
on any request where I don't pass those other conditions?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide in advance.
