The question on how to configure an apache instance so it can reverse
proxy a SqueezeCenter server has come up here a couple of times. A
solution that worked with the new interface has not been offered on
this forum AFAIK. After some experimenting I managed to make it work,
and thought I would share this with you.
Basically just adding ProxyPass directives to the apache config
doesn't work. This is because a lot of the javascripts use absolute
paths. A rewrite rule that uses the fact that all requests contain a
cookie is the solution. This is how it looks like:
Code:
--------------------
95 # Stuff to get the SqueezeCenter interface working.
96 ProxyRequests Off
97
98 <Proxy http://localhost:9000/*>
99 Order deny,allow
100 Allow from all
101 </Proxy>
102
103 RewriteEngine On
104 RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/ssl_rewrites.log
105 RewriteLogLevel 1
106
107 RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} SqueezeCenter
108 RewriteCond $1 !^/SqueezeCenter
109 RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost:9000$1 [P,E=SC:true]
110
111 RequestHeader set Referer http://localhost:9000/ env=SC
112
113
114 <Location /SqueezeCenter>
115 ProxyPass http://localhost:9000
116 ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:9000
117 SetOutputFilter proxy-html
118 ProxyHTMLURLMap / /SqueezeCenter/
119 RequestHeader set Referer http://localhost:9000/
120 Order deny,allow
121 Allow from all
122 </Location>
--------------------
The RewriteRule at line 109 captures the whole URL and proxies it to my
squeezecenter instance, but only if the squeezecenter cookie is present
(line 107), and the URL doesn't already start with SqueezeCenter (line
108)
Lines starting with SqueezeCenter get proxied to my squeezecenter
instance by the block starting with lien 114. The referrer is reset to
localhost to make authentication work properly, and lines 110 etc. make
sure only authenticated users can get to the interface from outside. The
whole is part of my ssl virtual host config. (and is password
protected)
Works like a charm.
