Thank you Jaques and BJ to have replied to my question... but I still don't understand how to solve my problem.
We're already using in production proxy_ajp with tomcat, to run ofbiz behind apache and manage SSL on apache. I tried a lot to understand mod_rewrite, and how it works, but without success...Well I was able to remove "control" from the incoming request, but clearly ofbiz add it if by default if it cannot find it in the request. I was more confortable with urlrewrite... So please post an example solution to my problem (mod_rewrite or urlrewrite), if you already got a chance to analyze it. Using urlrewrite I was able to remove "control" filtering the outgoing requests....but how can I automatically add it in incoming requests?
