For i2geo, I solve this using Apache mod_rewrite: only some paths, those candidate to be often exchanged, are rewritten and proxied accordingly, all others remain to /xwiki.
-- given a path that should be shortened, make a rewrite rule that redirects to the shorter variant -- given a path that is shortened, proxy the right variant -- per default proxy everything /xwiki The bigger problem with this intent is that you have the URLs output to /xwiki. Maybe a stock xwiki can correct all of them, but I've seen a lot of hard coding there (and I practice it every day, e.g. for css or javascript). paul Le 11 sept. 2012 à 10:58, Dmitry Bakbardin a écrit : > Hi! > I had the same "problem" with non-debian configuration.
