Excellent work Paul, we've been after a solution to that problem for ages! Haven't tried it yet, but I trust you :-)
I'd suggest adding this to the wiki as well, to make sure the maximum number of people can find it in the future. Simon On 26/07/07, Paul Hodges <[email protected]> wrote:

Up to now I have tolerated it by putting a rather inconspicuous name there; but now I have the solution (backward compatible, too). I already run a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat, as I have other sites which Tomcat is no part of. I have just today replaced my old reverse proxy (at32 Reverse Proxy) with Apache, and managed to set up what you (and I) want. The relevant lines of my Apache config look like: <VirtualHost 82.70.166.73> ServerName ambisonic.info ServerAlias www.ambisonic.info ProxyPass /docroot/ http://ambisonic.info:8081/docroot/ ProxyPass /ai/ http://ambisonic.info:8081/ai/ ProxyPass / http://ambisonic.info:8081/ai/ <Location /docroot/> ProxyPassReverse /docroot/ </Location> <Location /> ProxyPassReverse / SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE ProxyHTMLURLMap /ai/ / </Location> </VirtualHost> Notes: I relied heavily on the documentation at: <http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies> This explains why the "Location" blocks are necessary. References to "docroot" are explicitly left unchanged both in and out. Of course, if you have split docroot for the different sites (which I haven't yet, but should), you will need to adjust this accordingly. "ProxyPass" adds "/ai/" to all other incoming requests (but a preceding line accepts references with the "/ai/", to respect existing bookmarks). "ProxyPassReverse" removes the "/ai/" in returned headers. "ProxyHTMLURLMap" removes the "/ai/" in links in the returned HTML. "INFLATE" and "DEFLATE" uncompress HTML for scanning then recompress. I am using the standard Windows installation of Apache, and had to add mod_proxy_html as a separate install (available pre-compiled); and of course enabled loading of mod_proxy and mod_deflate. (If you go to that site right now, you will still see the /ai/ in the URLs, as I have several more sites to configure in the proxy before I make it live.)
