I investigted this more. And you are right that the backend server adds that header. It adds when requesting an URI like: http://www.somesite.com/something/ and it adds Content-Location: http://www.somesite.com/something/index.html The problem here is that in many cases these backend servers are not very configurable. I am unable to strip that Content-Location header with that backend-servers that sends it. Apache module mod_headers has the ability to unset http-headers, but it seems that it won't work with ProxyPass. I added lines like this to my httpd.conf: ProxyPass /somelocation http://somesite/someplace/ ProxyPassReverse /somelocation http://somesite/someplace/ Header unset Content-Location Apache did not strip Content-Location header with this configuration I also tried this: <Location /somelocation> Header unset Content-Location </Location> But apache still did not strip Content-Location headers. So I would like to see mod_headers and ProxyPass working together -- Jarkko Saloranta Kajaanin Puhelinosuuskunta [EMAIL PROTECTED] GSM:050-5990526
