Feature #926
closedRewrite + Proxy
Description
It would be very nice if mod_proxy_core and mod_rewrite could be used together, i.e. to rewrite the request on the back-end server.
proxy's lighttpd.conf:
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/motoko/" {
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/motoko(/.*)?" => "/caio/$1" )
proxy-core.backends = ( "myip" )
}
Request:
elinks -dump http://mydomain/motoko/3
Log of proxed web server:
proxyip mydomain - [29/Nov/2006:13:24:03 +0100] "GET /motoko/3 HTTP/1.0" 404 345 "-" "ELinks/0.11.1 (textmode; FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE i386; -)"
What I would like is a request to `/caio/3`.

thats expected. the original request path is logged. you should use redirect if you want to see the "rewritten" path.

Replying to darix:

hrm i shouldnt close bugs while waking up. :| of course on the backend you should see the changed request.
sorry

BTW: using mod_proxy on latest 1.4 release is just the same as using mod_proxy_core as stated in the example (the back-end does not receive a rewritten request).

can you make sure mod_proxy is loaded after mod_rewrite/redirect?

I wouldn't know how to alter the load order, except that lighttpd.conf includes the modules in this order:
server.modules = (
"mod_rewrite",
"mod_access",
"mod_proxy_core",
"mod_accesslog"
)

Try this:
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/motoko/" {
proxy-core.balancer = "round-robin"
proxy-core.protocol = "http"
proxy-core.backends = ( "myip" )
proxy-core.rewrite-request = (
"_uri" => ( "^/motoko(/.*)?" => "/caio/$1" )
)
}
If you still have problem enable this:
debug.log-request-handling = "enable"
Also I think url.rewrite work on the request uri before the $HTTPurl conditional matching.
enable log-request-handling with your config to see what it is doing.

Expected: mod_rewrite restarts a request and resets the conditional results.
