>Number: 1483 >Category: mod_proxy >Synopsis: ProxyPass incorrectly re-maps relative paths in already-mapped >documents >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Tue Nov 25 18:50:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.2.4 + SSL patches >Environment: Linux 2.0.32 (RedHat 4.2+), GCC 2.7.2 >Description: Given a conf containing "ProxyPass /other.machine.edu http://other.machine.edu";, Apache 1.2.4 fetches & maps the following URL into the namespace of the current server:
https://current.server.edu/other.machine.edu/index.html <- http://other.machine.edu/index.html Unfortunately, if http://other.machine.edu/index.html has any relative links on it, they do not work. For example, if http://other.machine.edu/index.html has a link like <IMG SRC="/graphics/logo.gif">, this link should be mapped as follows: /graphics/logo.gif -> https://current.server.edu/other.machine.edu/graphics/logo.gif <- http://other.machine.edu/graphics/logo.gif Unfortunately, this is what happens: /graphics/logo.gif -> https://current.server.edu/graphics/logo.gif Normally such mappings result in "broken" links. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: No suggestions; I'm only now looking at the source. But I'd be happy to try out patches for you, and try to work things out. I feel really stupid - as if I've missed something obvious. If so, then this is a documentation bug, and not a software bug, seeing as I did not find a ready solution to the problem in the documentation. I'd be happy to help rewrite the relevant section of the docs, if that turns out to be the problem.
