Description

Since url rewrites and proxying don't work properly inside a $HTTP'url'{}, we should have some method of telling proxy.server the path we want to proxy to.
So you can forward http://lighttpd/path/wibble.html to a backend such as http://backend/some/other/path/wibble.html

Any idea if this will ever get seen to?
Hints on a workaround might also be nice.

What you're looking for is internal rewrites of proxied requests.

I don't know if that is supported if:
  • load mod_rewrite before mod_proxy in modules list
  • tell mod_proxy to handle the rewritten URLs
    ??

Or maybe this is where Jan is likely to say "can be done with mod_magnet / LUA"?

That you cannot use rewrite in url conditionals is no limitation as you can check the same things in the rewrite pattern as you had in your url conditional.
