Topic: Redirect from applet reverse proxy problem

[amangeles]

Hi,

I have a reverse proxy setup like so:

client -> reverse proxy ( www.external.com ) -> www.internal.com

I'm also using mod_proxy_html for the reverse proxying.

One of the pages of www.internal.com contains an applet that performs some process and would later call appletContext.showDocument(url,"content") to redirect to another page. The url is of the form http://www.internal.com/mycontext/somepage.html

When the applet calls this redirection, what happens is http://www.internal.com/mycontext/somepage.html gets loaded in the browser instead of it being rewritten to http://www.external.com/mycontext/somepage.html

I find this strange because the other pages (non-applet pages) containing the /mycontext/ in the url are being rewritten properly.

here is a snippet of my config:

<virtualhost www.external.com>

ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass /mycontext/ http://www.internal/mycontext/
ProxyPassReverse /mycontext/ http://www.internal/mycontext/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://www.internal.com/mycontext http://www.external.com/mycontext

<Location /mycontext/>
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /mycontext/
ProxyHTMLURLMap /mycontext /mycontext
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
</Location>

</virtualhost>

any ideas would be appreciated.

Which version of mod_proxy_html do you use?
I'm not used to Java. How does the it set the url? From the client? Maybe it is getting the url from the proxy which asks for the page and not the browser.
