ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse do what you need.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html

The only reverse proxy I know of is Apache mod_proxy, which we are  
using, and that only rewrites HTTP headers and does not change the  
content... e.g. relative links cannot be changed, really, you need a  
tuned URL-factory.

The other thing that can be done is to put a reverse proxy in front of
xwiki and have it re-write that part of the URL out.

That's good news.


As can see below, I have now managed to get as short x.org/bin/Main  
which is fair.
Note however that the settings above are not enough there are still  
paths that use /xwiki or assume something such. I have seen two thus

Had I not had

it'd be harder to stimulate me to make it work.

I tried to take it further. So for Tomcat, it meant to me to add,  
in the

web.xml:

default
/skins

That's not enough. By default, the default servlet sends resources
starting from the webapp root, regardless of the mapping (and thus the

I suppose all this would be solved if the static resources are all  
served by an apache httpd instead of the servlet container. It'd be  
nice to suggest that no webapp-root-single-files should exist to ease  
this process.
