Hi Krist, my apache configuration does not have redirect directive. However, I noticed that the web application is doing a redirect: https://backend:8443/abc/xxx/xxx becomes https://backend:8443/abc/xxx:/yyy/zzz/login.jsp
The backend is a tomcat server. I am not the developer of that web application. Could it be the cause why apache can't do this proxying? thx and appreciate your support. --- On Tue, 15/4/08, Krist van Besien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Krist van Besien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] url proxying > To: users@httpd.apache.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Tuesday, 15 April, 2008, 10:48 PM > On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Melanie Pfefer > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > SSLProxyEngine On > > > > SSLProxyCACertificatePath /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl > > ProxyPass /abc/ https://backend:8443/abc/ > > #ProxyPassReverse /abc/ https://abc:8443/abc/ > > > > The redirects works.
