Hello all!!
I'm going crazy with this configuration..hope some guru can give me the light...


We have this scenario:

internal web application server that respond to url:

http://myapp.myinternaldomain.com:8080/webapp/login.pgm

I need to give access to external users, so I've setup an apache webserver to act as reverse proxy with https. all is working well if i leave the path "untouched" like this config:



Code:
 ProxyPass / http://myapp.myinternaldomain.com:8150/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://myapp.myinternaldomain.com:8150/


But external users have to know the full path to the login page like https://myapp.myexternaldomain.com/webapp/login.pgm


I've tried to modify the configuration in this way:

Code:
 ProxyPass / http://myapp.myinternaldomain.com:8150/webapp/login.pgm
  ProxyPassReverse / http://myapp.myinternaldomain.com:8150/webapp/login.pgm


and the page is displayed, but without stylesheet and images, because the url is modified like

https://myapp.myexternaldomain.com/webapp/login.pgmwebapp/csss/foo.css


there' a way to write a rewrite rule that can handle this problem?

one hint:
I can't change anything on internal webserver.




thank you very very much.

You may have a look at mod_proxy_html, see http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/

Included standard in Apache 2.4 and for 2.2 download it from here.

mod_proxy_html should solve your issue.

And read http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies
