I'm looking to setup apache as a reverse proxy to a couple of tomcat servers. What I want is something like this:
www.proxy.com/app1 ---> www.app1.target.com www.proxy.com/app2 ---> www.app2.target.com >From what I can tell from the guides, to get this to work correctly there needs to be some kind of rewriting of the URL's in the response from tomcat. As I understand it the ProxyPassReverse directive will rewrite the URL's in the HTTP header and ProxyHTMLURLMap from mod_proxy_html takes care of rewriting the URL's in the html page. So far it all seems quite solid, but then there is the issue of URL's in javascript and other embedded content which can't identified by ProxyHTMLURLMap. The solution proffered seem to be to use ProxyHTMLExtended and identify the URL using regular expressions. This is the part that I am not so confident about. This seems error prone. So I wanted to get some opinion about whether this was a sensible way to go for a highly visible website. Another thing is app1 and app2 really only return URL's that are relative to the hostname, so it seems like if I set things up like this: www.proxy.com/app1 ---> www.app1.target.com/app1 www.proxy.com/app2 ---> www.app2.target.com/app2 Then it almost eliminates the need to do any URL rewriting at all. I would much rather not set things up like this, and would like to do this only if URL rewriting using ProxyHTMLURLMap is not recommended. Any opinions are welcome. -Jacob --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
