mod_proxy alters URIs when acting as a reverse proxy





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-04-27 09:37 -------
A reverse proxy doesn't need to be transparent. It may be as well a caching
proxy, that approached the backend server only if it doens't have a fresh copy
of the requested object. There fore, it MAY alter the URL. However, there is a
bug in this alteration: In the reverse proxy case, unescaping is done twice. In
the first   unesacping, the core does this for any non-proxy request. However,
this is done before reverse proxy requests are identified by matching the URL
with ProxyPass directives. Therefore, the second unescaping, in the function
ap_proxy_canonenc in proxy_util.c, should be done only for a standard proxy, and
not for a reverse proxy, and the line

if (isenc && ch == '%') {

(proxy_util.c:206 in httpd_2.0.45) should be replaced by

if (isenc == PROXYREQ_PROXY && ch == '%') {
