| |
| |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>Description:</dt> |
| |
| <dd> |
| <p> |
| mod_rewrite provides the [P] flag, which allows URLs to be passed, |
| via mod_proxy, to another server. Two examples are given here. In |
| one example, a URL is passed directly to another server, and served |
| as though it were a local URL. In the other example, we proxy |
| missing content to a back-end server.</p> |
| </dd> |
| |
| <dt>Solution:</dt> |
| |
| <dd> |
| <p>To simply map a URL to another server, we use the [P] flag, as |
| follows:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteEngine on |
| RewriteBase "/products/" |
| RewriteRule "^widget/(.*)$" "http://product.example.com/widget/$1" [P] |
| ProxyPassReverse "/products/widget/" "http://product.example.com/widget/"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>In the second example, we proxy the request only if we can't find |
| the resource locally. This can be very useful when you're migrating |
| from one server to another, and you're not sure if all the content |
| has been migrated yet.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-f |
| RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-d |
| RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://old.example.com/$1" [P] |
| ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://old.example.com/"</pre> |
| |
| </dd> |
| |
| <dt>Discussion:</dt> |
| |
| <dd><p>In each case, we add a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse">ProxyPassReverse</a></code> directive to ensure |
| that any redirects issued by the backend are correctly passed on to |
| the client.</p> |
| |
| <p>Consider using either <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassmatch">ProxyPassMatch</a></code> whenever possible in |
| preference to mod_rewrite.</p> |
