Description Laurent 2012-12-17 10:46:24 UTC
Hi all,
My Apache is configured as a reverse proxy :

  RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/pioupiou/
  RewriteRule     ^/pioupiou/     /mirror/foo/ [PT]

  <Location /mirror/foo/>
      ProxyPass http://backend.example.com/
  </Location>

If I request : http://mondomain/mirror/foo/ => I access correctly to backend.example.com/
If I request : http://mondomain/pioupiou/ => Apache is rewritting correctly but return an HTTP404 /htdocs/mirror not found (in other words, the ProxyPass have been ignore)

If I remove the <Location> notation and get the right syntax for ProxyPass :
  RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/pioupiou/
  RewriteRule     ^/pioupiou/     /mirror/foo/ [PT]

  ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://backend.example.com/

If I request : http://mondomain/pioupiou/ => it works !!

Hi,

I've got the same problem, is there a Big regression of how <Location> works with mod_proxy ??

Thanks in advance.

This is a behavior change, I have started a discussion on dev@httpd.apache.org to discuss if the 2.2 behavior needs to be preserved in 2.4 or just documented.
