Is the absence of slashes after local there intentional? You have a slash in your ProxyPass[Reverse] directives. > What I bother about is the additional slash before '/foo/', so I digged into > the source code and found the following lines in modules/proxy/proxy_util.c: That's not easy to follow: your comments don't cross-reference to the code until I've opened a lot more windows than I have screen space for. A link to your bugzilla report would've helped, and your reference to source is ambiguous - I guessed /trunk/. When digging in source for this kind of thing, the "annotate" feature of svn is your best tool: http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/proxy/proxy_util.c?annotate=1138627 The lines you're unhappy about were introduced in r771587: http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=771587 which has quite an informative commit message. Maybe that might help to figure out the purpose? I confess in this case I too am at a loss to see the purpose of that test. Well, we do need to normalise the case of a missing URL, but that test appears to be doing it the wrong way and making a special case of a normal one. -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
