Problem combining mod_proxy, mod_rewrite mod_perl
G'day!
I would like to combine mod_proxy, mod_rewrite and mod_perl on an Apache
2.0.43 for Windows with mod_perl 2.0. The Perl Version I use is
ActiveState 5.6.1.
Just by loading the module the server behaves differently. Instead
seeing the the reverse proxied site I get following error in the browser:
-
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET
/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/directx1/.
Reason: Max-Forwards has reached zero - proxy loop?
-
It seems as if the rewrite rules are applied in a recursive loop. The
rewrite.log does support this.
Any ideas why this is happening and how can I get the config running again.
Regards Jan

Hello, Is there some way to set mod_rewrite rules in a Perl/Perl section in the apache configuration? Thanks, Z.
reading an ENV with Perl that was set with mod_rewrite [E= : ]
Hi, Has anyone used mod_rewrite to set an environmental variable based on the result of a reg exp? For example: RewriteRule ^/pt=([^/]+)?(.*) /home/me.com/public_html/$2 [E=PT:$1] I can get a static url like: RewriteRule /perl /usr/local/apache/perl/printenv [E=ERIC:bob] to work, but the first one I can't. PT doesn't exist, but ERIC does. I know this is not exactly on topic, but it is a weird sort of issue, the admin I was dealing with said he could get the above ENV with PHP or mod_perl but not with perl CGI's I can't seem to get it with a mod_perl Registry script either though.

[OT?] %ENV question, mod_rewrite vs. mod_perl?
I'm new to mod_perl, so please bear with me a bit. I'm digging
through as much information as I can find and have a few questions.
I've used mod_rewrite for a lot of URI re-mapping solutions, but this
particular job I'm doing is a bit of a challenge.
I have an existing perl script (non mod_perl) which checks against a
number of ENV variables to determine which 'file' the browser should
see.
Trouble is, that script reads the file and spits it out to the
browser, which makes it useless for anything with SSI or PHP based
solutions.
My logic had me thinking that I could use mod_rewrite to query the
script, and rewrite the URI slightly according to what that script
spit back. Then apache could fill the request and SSI and PHP stuff
would remain intact (and be parsed).
So I wind up with
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /home/httpd/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteMapfoo prg:/home/httpd/cgi-bin/foo.cgi
RewriteRule ^/(.+\.(html|htm|php|php3))$ /${foo:$1} [L]
which basically says, pass the URI to foo and give back a rewritten
URI, then go fetch it.
trouble is, due to the way the Map works, the foo.cgi is launched
then 'stays' launched, and from what I can tell has no access to the
%ENV variables that it would normally have available if it was run as
a normal cgi script.
So, this lead me to mod_perl. Is mod_perl a solution in this case?
If so, would it be a total replacement for the RewriteEngine in this example?
Is there a mod_perl script/module that already does URI rewriting
that I can use for reference?
Or,
Does anyone know how I could possibly make the %ENV available to
foo.cgi in a case like the above?
Thanks for any and all pointers if answering with ROTFM, please
point me to a URL or chapter ;-)

Re: [OT?] %ENV question, mod_rewrite vs. mod_perl?
Use a mod_perl transhandler for this, it's the phase of the
apache process that's responsible for matching the URI/request to a
file that'll be executed in the response phase.

Segfaults with mod_rewrite
I've been looking for this segfault for a while.
This may be related to my last post about the double requests under
mod_perl because if I use a cgi-script instead of a mod_perl handler I
don't get the segfault. But there's an issue with mod_rewrite, too.
I have a url that can go to an advanced search page:
http://localhost/search/advanced/extra/path
Everything after /search is extra path info.
I thought it would be nice to make it easy to use:
http://localhost/advanced/extra/path
So, I was using this rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^/(foo|bar|advanced)(.*) /search/$1$2
But that's causing a segfault.
My guess is that
/search/advanced/extra/path
ends up with a subrequest of
/advanced/extra/path
And the rewrite_log shows that happening.
Interesting, is that although this causes the segfaults
RewriteRule ^/(foo|bar|advanced)(.*) /search/$1$2
this works fine:
RewriteRule ^/(advanced)(.*) /search/$1$2
Looks like a bug in mod_rewrite, too.
Here's the httpd.conf:
VirtualHost *:9000
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog rewrite_log
RewriteRule ^/(foo|bar|advanced)(.*) /search/$1$2
perl
package My::Hello;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw( OK );
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$r-send_http_header('text/plain');
$r-print('hello');
return OK;
}

[mod_rewrite] Remember to set your logLevel down!
hi,
I've got a 2 tier apache setup running a lightweight apache with
mod_rewrite proxying *.pl requests to the heavyweight apache. I'm
posting this to share a bit of practical info on how to build such a
setup on a per-file basis, as the Guide only deals with per
domain/directory rewriting/proxying.
The aim is to proxy requests to a mod_perl enabled apache running on a
high port, based on file extension, and enabling a transparent
transition from a monolothic one-apache setup to a 2 tier setup. As a
matter of fact, I keep a single apache on my dev box, and I'm upgrading
the production server to handle static + CGI + server-parsed content
with apache.plain, and proxy Registry and Embperl to apache.perl
(running on port 1800). Additionally, requests for any PHP content will
be proxied to apache.php at port 1801.
To achieve this, I used to have in httpd.conf
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteLog /projects/webserver/logs/rewrite_log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(pl|ehtml)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}:1800/$1 [P]
The issue is that PLAIN requests, that do not get proxied are getting a
performance hit because each hit executes 2 regexes on the URL: the
RewriteRule and the RewriteCond. At the beggining, I was horrified at
the performance, because I had logging on. See:
Without Rewriting: 510 requests per second
With LogLevel 0: 418 req/s
With LogLevel 1: 365 req/s
With LogLevel 3: 300 req/s
Calling test.pl at port 1800: 85 req/s
Calling test.pl through proxy: 70 req/s
One of the interesting things I found is that the statically compiled
apache.perl serves static content a little slower than the mod_so
(ENABLE_SHARED=MAX) apache.plain: 510 req/s against 470 req/s. My guess
is that the extra handlers that mod_perl registers slow down things a
bit more than the usage of mod_so (which the docs estimate to be 5%).

Re: [OT] mod_rewrite hang
Thanks for the people who tried to help, but it doesn't seem to
be a DNS timeout. When using the following code, it still hangs:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

while(){
print "$_\n";
}
Any other suggestions?
Jonathan Leto ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) was saying:
If anybody could give me some insight on the problem I am having,
it would be greatly appreciated. I have been working on this all day,
and I just can't get past this roadblock.
Situation: Using mod_rewrite's RewriteMap functionality with an
external rewrite rewrite map ( a perl script ).
Tested on 3 Linux 2.2/Apache 1.3.12 webservers. Two act exactly as they
should, and one waits *exactly* 3 minutes, then does what it should.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /www/logs/rewrite
RewriteMapfind prg:/www/bin/findurl.pl
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteRule ^(/~.*) ${find:$1:%{SERVER_PORT}}
findurl.pl finds content on other webservers and rewrites the url.
This works perfectly on 2 of my webservers, and on one it just hangs for 3 minutes.
mod_rewrite takes 3 minutes:

[OT] mod_rewrite hang
If anybody could give me some insight on the problem I am having,
it would be greatly appreciated. I have been working on this all day,
and I just can't get past this roadblock.
Situation: Using mod_rewrite's RewriteMap functionality with an
external rewrite rewrite map ( a perl script ).
Tested on 3 Linux 2.2/Apache 1.3.12 webservers. Two act exactly as they
should, and one waits *exactly* 3 minutes, then does what it should.
Details:
Apache Config:
RewriteLock /var/lock/findurl.lock
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /www/logs/rewrite
RewriteMapfind prg:/www/bin/findurl.pl
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteRule ^(/~.*) ${find:$1:%{SERVER_PORT}}
findurl.pl finds content on other webservers and rewrites the url.
This works perfectly on 2 of my webservers, and on one it just hangs for 3 minutes.
mod_rewrite takes 3 minutes:

problem with mod_proxy/mod_rewrite being used for the front-end proxy
This isn't entirely on-topic but it's a solution often suggested for mod_perl
users so I suspect there are other users here being bitten by the same
problems. In fact the manner in which problems manifest are such that it's
possible that many mod_perl users who are using mod_rewrite/mod_proxy to run
a reverse proxy in front of their heavyweight perl servers have a security
problem and don't even know it.
The problem is that the solution written in the mod_rewrite guide for a
reverse proxy doesn't work as advertised to block incoming proxy requests.
RewriteRule^(http|ftp)://.* - [F]
This is supposed to block incoming proxy requests that aren't specifically
created by the rewrite rules that follow.
The problem is that both mod_rewrite and mod_proxy have changed, and this
seems to no longer catch the incoming proxy requests. Instead mod_rewrite
seems to see just the path part of the URI, ie, /foo/bar/baz.pl without the
http://.../.
I've even tried using ${THE_REQUEST} which actually matches, and says it's
forcing the response to be forbidden, then it happily proxies the request
anyways!
I'm using a
Directory proxy:*
deny from all
/Directory
Directory proxy:http://127.0.0.1/
allow from all
/Directory
section to at least avoid being an open proxy to the outside world, but I
cannot find any way in 1.3.12 to refuse all proxy requests coming from the
outside.
If you're not aware of the problem at all and have merely followed the advice
of the mod_rewrite guide you are probably an open proxy, allowing attackers to
use your web server to attack other sites anonymously.

My server logs a 302 error and sends a redirect to http://www.goto.com/d/home/p/digimedia/context/ (interesting - I didn't know where it was redirecting before...).

[OT] strange mod_rewrite behaviour (for Apache::Session support)
Hello,
I am in the process of implementing persistent sessions using
Apache::Session with the session_id stored in the URL and it mostly
works. In the HTML::Mason autohandler there is the following filter:
%filter
$r-pnotes("cookie") # mangle URL only if cookie is missing
|| s#\bhref\s*=\s*"(/(?!S=)[^"\s]*)"#href="/S=$session{_session_id}$1"#gi;
/%filter
... which adds the session_id to all href links, only if the browser
doesn't return any cookie.
Now in httpd.conf there is a mod_rewrite rule inspired by a recent
thread on the modperl list:
RewriteRule ^/S=([^/]+)(/.*) $2 [E=AF_SID:$1]
This removes the session_id from the URL and adds it to the AF_SID
environment variable. This works well for all absolute URLs (starting
with a /) which is puzzling because I remember reading in this thread
that this technique mandated _relative_ URLs.
The rewrite rule fails only in one case, the root URL:
http://my.site.com/S=1d2e580af1e31cf2/Sell/index.html
... is correctly converted to
http://my.site.com/Sell/index.html
... *but*
http://my.site.com/S=1d2e580af1e31cf2/
... fails with a 404 NOT FOUND error
From the rewrite log:
127.0.0.1 - - [23/Jul/2000:15:57:31 +0200] [apartia.int/sid#815769c][rid#8149464

/initial] (1) go-ahead with / [OK]
[Sun Jul 23 15:57:31 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /
... so after tinkering with various mod_rewrite options for a while I
changed the RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^/S=([^/]+)(/.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$2 [E=AF_SID:$1]
... and now everything works fine.
But I'm still not happy because I don't understand _why_ it works.
Please let me know if you have a rational explanation.
TIA

Re: mod_perl, mod_rewrite, package namespace
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that (once again) re-RTFM the manual *twice* solved my muliple compilation problem. The solution is adding [PT] to the RewriteRule. RewriteRule ^/query/(.*) /query.pl?$1 [PT] -- http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html: 'passthrough|PT' (pass through to next handler) This flag forces the rewriting engine to set the uri field of the internal request_rec structure to the value of the filename field. This flag is just a hack to be able to post-process the output of RewriteRule directives by Alias, ScriptAlias, Redirect, etc. directives from other URI-to-filename translators. A trivial example to show the semantics: If you want to rewrite /abc to /def via the rewriting engine of mod_rewrite and then /def to /ghi with mod_alias: RewriteRule ^/abc(.*) /def$1 [PT] Alias /def /ghi If you omit the PT flag then mod_rewrite will do its job fine, i.e., it rewrites uri=/abc/... to filename=/def/... as a full API-compliant URI-to-filename translator should do. Then mod_alias comes and tries to do a URI-to-filename transition which will not work. Note: You have to use this flag if you want to intermix directives of different modules which contain URL-to-filename translators. The typical example is the use of mod_alias and mod_rewrite..
mod_rewrite question..
Hi - I'm probably posting this to the incorrect list (If there is a
dedicated apache list would someone please point me in it's direction.)
Here's my problem -
I'm trying to grab the 'id' part of a url - e.g - www.somewhere.com/id
and place the val. into an environment variable - which mod_rewrite can
do!
Here's the httpd.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog mod_rewrite_log.txt
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteRule /([^\/{1}]\w+)$/) [E=STATUS:$1]
The above regex seems to work in regular code, but in httpd.conf it
passes nothing to STATUS?
Whereas the following code (from the rewriteguide)
RewriteRule ^(.*)/S=([^/]+)/(.*)$1/$3 [E=STATUS:$2]
Where the URL /foo/S=java/bar/ gets translated to /foo/bar/ and the
environment variable named STATUS is set to the value "java".
Is there anything obviously wrong with my regex??
Any help is appreciated,
Mick

Re: mod_rewrite and -U Problems
No, I don't have any specific handler for /. I guess I'll keep playing around with it some more. Most of the url's will actually be in the format of 'http://www.mysite.com/path?QueryString', and I am not sure yet is -U even checks these. The docs mention it uses an internal subrequest to handle this, but I am not sure if that is anything like LWP::Simple::get() or something else entirely, meaning that it may only work on "local" url's anyway. And, I am not in the mood to go trouncing through C source to figure it out, at least not yet... Jason I don't know anything about mod_rewrite, so this is just a guess. Do you set a handler for location "/"? Maybe it's considered valid in that case. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
mod_rewrite and -U Problems
I have a question about the -U test under mod_rewrite. The docs state that the test "Checks if TestString is a valid URL and accessible...". Well, the problem I am having is that if I give it a path the clearly does not exist on my system, the logs report that it does the check and returns a 200(OK). For instance, if I have a a URL that I send it: http://test.mydomain.com/click?url=hjk And then if I extract and do a -U test on 'hjk', it will report a 200 OK and try to redirect (I have indicated in my scripts to redirect only if the URL is valid, which is what I thought -U would accomplish). I have the log verbosity on 9, so I am certain that it is using _only_ the 'hjk', and not extra stuff. Specifically, the flow from the logs is: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [07/Jan/2000:16:59:13 -0500] [xxx.xxx.com/sid#8100034][rid#81a8034/initial] (5) RewriteCond URI (-U) check: path=hjk - status=200 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [07/Jan/2000:16:59:13 -0500] [xxx.xxx.com/sid#8100034][rid#81a8034/initial] (4) RewriteCond: input='hjk' pattern='-U' = matched xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [07/Jan/2000:16:59:13 -0500] [xxx.xxx.com/sid#8100034][rid#81a8034/initial] (2) local path result: jh Does anyone know the inner workings of this module who could give me some insight as to why this happens?

Re: AGAIN - mod_rewrite escaping ???
Grr, this isn't a mod_perl question so I'd almost rather not respond at

are using an Apache prior to v 1.3.6 'cause that's when the escape
