Hi, I am trying to get a rewrite rule working that will take the value from an HTTP header and use the value to create a new target destination for the HTTP request. An example of what I'm trying to do follows:
Original HTTP request being sent to http://myhost.domain/ containing the header MyRoutingID: SOME_VALUE This needs to be rewritten and sent to http://myhost.domain/SOME_VALUE This will then be forwarded using a reverse proxy to http://apphost.domain/SomeLocation/SomeApplication I know that this may seem like a really convoluted way of doing things, but our clients don't actually know where they are sending requests to, other than the server name. The receiving server has to pass the request along based on the routing ID; however, the routing ID isn't actually part of the final destination URL. The routing ID -> destination URL mapping will be generated and included as an external config file loaded into the Apache configuration at load. So far what I have is the following: LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /SOME_VALUE http://apphost.domain/SomeLocation/SomeApplication <Location /SOME_VALUE> ProxyPassReverse /SomeLocation/SomeApplication </Location> LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP:MyRoutingID} (.*) RewriteRule .* - [E=ROUTING_ID:$1] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://myhost.domain/%{ROUTING_ID} [P,L] The proxy config is working fine. The RewriteRule however, does not. Thanks for any help on getting the RewriteRule working. Thanks! /Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
