Re: mod_proxy

Thanks,

I have tried xplanner (xplanner-0.7b7-standalone) with mod_proxy, with no s=
uccess.  I am attempting to get xplanner to work with the url http://hostna=
me/xplanner which would result in forwarded requests to http://localhost:70=
70 . The problem is to rewrite url:s from xplanner that contains the intern=
al url:

 # wget http://localhost/xplanner
--18:30:45--  http://localhost/xplanner
           =3D> `xplanner'
Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1, ::1
Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:80... connected.

                  ] 2,733         --.--K/s

18:30:46 (44.94 MB/s) - `login' saved [2733]

This seems ok so far, the problem is that urls do not get rewritten, i.e. I=
 get a login page but cannot login because the html page contains the action
 <form name=3D"login/authenticate" method=3D"post" action=3D"/do/login">. =


Furthermore urls like http://localhost:7070/do/systemInfo wont work outside=
 the system where the application is running, when sent to the browser.

The configuration snippet for mod_proxy :
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>

    ProxyRequests Off

   <Proxy *>
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   </Proxy>

    ProxyPass /xplanner http://localhost:7070/
    ProxyPassReverse /xplanner/ http://localhost:7070/

#    ProxyPreserveHost On


</IfModule>

BTW ProxyPreserveHost On does not seem to work in this case. I have done si=
milar configs with some other application servers, I think mongrel was one =
of them, without any problems of this kind. =

I think that is not depending from xplanner, but with the servlet container.

In general, I don't think there aren't even any things a servlet conatiner =
could do to prevent that.
The mod_proxy is basically nothing else than a normal "client" to the webse=
rver of the servlet container, and just forwarding http requests in one dir=
ection, and the replies in the other.

That said, I haven't tried it with xplanner and a java servlet container - =
with a rails server mod_proxy works without problems once the right config =
is in place.
