I am attempting to use an external program for load balancing/failover but I am running into a strange problem. When the URL is rewritten, I get an access forbidden error - mod rewrite is proxying the request with an external %0D on the end.
We run Apache 2.0.43 on Windows, so I am unable to get a perl program to run (as called from Apache), so I've written a small program in C to provide the redirect.
My conf lines read like:
rewriteengine on
rewritelog /apache2/myapache/rw.log
rewriteloglevel 3
rewritemaplbprg:/apache2/myApache/pb.exe
rewriterule ^/(.+)$${lb:$1}[P,L]
where pb.exe is an executable which, at this time, accepts the url on stdin and returns a url:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char ch[] = { "empty" };
while (ch)
{
std::cin >> ch;
std::cout << "http://wc-dev.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/index.html";
std::cout << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
If this makes no sense to you, but you know of a program that works similarly or have a suggestion about how to make map:txt work, I would be grateful for your input.
We've had very few discussions surrounding the RewriteMap directive. It seems not many here are overly familiar with it. Can anyone offer this new member any suggestions or advice? In other words:
HELP!;)
