Apache modproxy & redirect problem & solution

19 Aug 2005

      Hi all.

I am using apache modproxy to connect main apache server to internal 
tomcat server. (usunet.ru/xwiki)
and find this problem:

On save document, xwiki call redirect by Full URL of Internal 
server(yh:8080) and got error 404 becouse internal host is inaccessible

I fix this problem for by writing in 
com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiServletURLFactory:

{code}
private URL getServerURL(String xwikidb, XWikiContext context) throws 
MalformedURLException {
   final String host = context.getRequest().getHeader("x-forwarded-host");
   if (host!=null && !host.equals(""))
     return new URL("http://"+host);
   ...
{code}

(Apache modproxy adds header "x-forwarded-host" = apache host)

Maybe better to redirect by uri without server name?
