What do you mean by "URI stays as http://www.temple.edu/mmc/  and not as =
/sct/mmc/" ?? Do you mean what appears in the address bar is not =
/sct/mmc? Why would that change? You do not do any redirect!

Furthermore, because of the ProxyPassReverse, any /sct/mmc/ in Location =
headers in redirects will be rewritten into /mmc/.

To your browser, the fact that the path to the resource on the backend =
server is /sct/mmc is totally transparent. That's reverse proxying.

What is the underlying problem?

Subject: [users@httpd] What is the hierarchy/precedence of 2.0 =
directives? (Redirect problem)

Hello All:

Where can I find (or does anyone know) the order in which Apache =
preforms its directives?  It may or may not solve the underlying problem =
below, but a recent discussion I had prompted the above question.


The underlying problem

	I have 2 entries in the file proxies.conf
	--------------------------------------------------------------------
	# proxy directives for http://www.temple.edu/mmc
	RewriteRule ^/+mmc((/+.*)?$) http://SERVER.temple.edu/sct/mmc$1 [P]
	ProxyPassReverse /mmc/ http://SERVER.temple.edu/sct/mmc/
	--------------------------------------------------------------------
	(not inside of a VirtualHost)


	When I enter http://www.temple.edu/mmc, the request is proxied to
	http://server.temple.edu/sct/mmc/  and the URI is re-written as
	http://www.temple.edu/sct/mmc/.  This is what I expect and has
	always worked as expected.

	The problem is when I enter http://www.temple.edu/mmc/  (note the =
trailing slash)
	The request is still proxied to http://server.temple.edu/sct/mmc, but =
the
	URI stays as http://www.temple.edu/mmc/  and not as /sct/mmc/.


My question about the order of directives stems from trying to add
   Redirect permanment /mmc http://www.temple.edu/sct/mmc/ to httpd.conf =
to compensate.

I even tried anther RewriteRule, but that didnt work either.
   RewriteRule ^/+mmc/((/+.*)?$) http://SERVER.temple.edu/sct/mmc$1 [P]


How can I fix the underlying problem?


Thanks.
Birl
