Hi,
We have a reverse proxy configured to route in-bound traffic to one of
two different applications. Here's our proxy conf:
ProxyPass /foo !
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
There's an instance of Tomcat running on port 8080.
I'm trying to determine if it is possible to preserve the original
in-bound address on the requests routed to localhost:8080. What I'm
observing is that the servlet sees all in-bound traffic addressed to
"http://localhost:8080"; rather than the real external address of my
server. For example, when a client sends a request to
"https://myserver.com/api/v3/blah";, the reverse proxy routes the request
to "http://localhost:8080/api/v3/blah"; and so the servlet sees the
request addressed to "http://localhost:8080"; rather than
"https://myserver.com";.
I read through the docs for mod_proxy and mod_env thinking that I could
use those to inject the correct information, but can't quite get it
working. For example:
PassEnv SERVER_PROTOCOL SERVER_NAME SERVER_PORT
RequestHeader edit Location "(^http[s]?://)([a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+)(:[0-9]+)"
"%{SERVER_PROTOCOL}e://%{SERVER_NAME}e:%{SERVER_PORT}e"
I'm pretty sure I'm misusing PassEnv here, but the idea was to rewrite
the "Location" header as it is passing through the reverse proxy so it
preserves the original request info.
I can *remove* the wrong server address with this:
RequestHeader edit Location "(^http[s]?://)([a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+)(:[0-9]+)" ""
but I can't inject (or preserve) the correct information.
I'm aware that the proxy injects X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Host, and
X-Forwarded-Server, but that's not enough information to fully
reconstruct the original request address (including scheme and port
number).
I also tried using:
ProxyPreserveHost On
Which mostly seems to work, but loses the correct scheme - when my
client requests "https://...";, the reverse proxy sends that to "http://...";.
Is there any way to preserve the original requested address as it passes
through the proxy?
Thanks,
--Ryan
