Hi all,
In the process of testing varnish on our dev machine, I discovered many
external links pointing to our site are missing the trailing slash. If
the links were just on our site, I'd fix the links, and all would be
fine, but I've recently discovered there are a lot of external links
pointing to our site that are missing the trailing slash, so that
solution isn't in the cards.
Normally, this isn't a problem since Apache gracefully handles the
missing / and the visitor ends up with the / in the URL where needed. So,
www.example.com/folder
becomes
www.example.com/folder/
Fine. Now varnish enters into the picture, and requests to
www.example.com/folder become
www.example.com:8080/folder/
8080, being the port I've moved Apache onto so Varnish can live on 80.
I've tried a host of different mod_rewrite rules to try to get Apache to
play nice, but so far, no dice.
So, I'm back to wondering:
1. if there's a way to handle this type of thing more gracefully in
varnish (and if not)
2. does anyone have the mod_rewrite foo to exorcise my new-found
trailing slash problem?
Many thanks,
Kevin
P.S. This isn't as simple as opening up 8080 at the firewall, since
requests then end up going to Apache rather than Varnish, so that does
me no good.
