Change the redirect URL to reverse proxy

[binhxe]

Hi all,

My system is composed of a reverse proxy(Apache 2.046) and a backend webserver (Oracle HTTP Server).

To connect to a web application on the back end web server, the Internet user connect to reverse proxy via HTTPS and the reverse proxy forward the request to backend webserver via HTTP.

Example :

Internet user type :
[myreverseproxy...]
The reverse proxy translate this to :
[mybackendserver...]

The problem is myWebApp do a redirect like this:
[myreverseproxy...]

How can I config the reverse proxy to change the redirect URL to :
[myreverseproxy...]

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I've not used reverse proxy on Apache 2.x, but on 1.x you need to use the "ProxyPassReverse" directive to rewrite location headers in redirects.

Hi,

I've got already ProxyPassReverse.

My web application is a java servlet, and it saw the request from the client as : [myreverseproxy...] then it build a reply [myreverseproxy...]

My Idea is that when this reply arrive at the reverse proxy I'll tell apache to change it to :
[myreverseproxy...]
before return it to web browser.

I've tried some tricks with mod_rewrite without success.

Do you have any idea.

Thank you.
