Hi folks, I've set up mod_proxy as a reverse proxy and am encountering a problem. When I browse the proxied site, most pages load fine, but if there's an encoded '/' (%2F) in the URL's path, it causes Apache to generate an internal 404 and not even pass the request to the mod_proxy. Here's an example of a problem URL (note: this isn't the actual hostname): http://www.mysite.com/Product/1917--HON+Comfortask%2f%c2%ae+Task+Swivel+Stool--s Note the "%2f" after the term "Comfortask", which is causing Apache to not make this a proxy request. Unfortunately the site I'm working on is built with an e-commerce system that puts all information in the path rather than proper URL parameters! FYI I've got my proxy server configured as follows: <VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80> ServerName www.mysite.com ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass / http://Y.Y.Y.Y:80/ ProxyPassReverse / http://Y.Y.Y.Y:80/ ProxyPassReverse / http://Y.Y.Y.Y/ ProxyTimeout 120 ProxyPreserveHost On </VirtualHost> (X.X.X.X is the proxy server IP, and Y.Y.Y.Y is the upstream web server.) Any ideas why Apache is getting confused by the %2F? Workarounds? thanks, Eric
