[ale] apache2 Proxypass

[Chris Woodfield]

Hi all...pardon my lack of apache-fu...

I've set up some ProxyPass directives on my apache2 server to  
redirect a URL on my public webserver to the (hacked) web interface  
on my tivo box behind it on the NAT network. So far everything seems  
to work, almost...

The remaining niggling issue is that in order for the proxy  
passthrough to be successful, I have to remember the trailing slash  
on the URL. So far I haven't figured out how to get around that at  
all, either. When I enter "http://www.semihuman.com/tivo/" into the  
URL from the outside, I get the tivo web interface. When I enter  
"http://www.semihuman.com/tivo", I get a 404.

Below is the content of the directives (which sits in a site file  
under /etc/apache2/sites-available):

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyRequests           Off
ProxyPass               /tivo/  http://tivo1.semihuman.com/
ProxyHTMLURLMap         http://tivo1.semihuman.com      /tivo

<Location /tivo/>
         ProxyPassReverse        /
         SetOutputFilter         proxy-html
         ProxyHTMLURLMap         /       /tivo/
         ProxyHTMLURLMap         /tivo   /tivo
         RequestHeader           unset   Accept-Encoding
</Location>

Now, I've tried changing the ProxyPass line from /tivo/ to /tivo, but  
when I do that the URL without the slash comes up but none of the  
links work (they map to http://www.semihuman.com/<file>, not http:// 
www.semihuman.com/tivo/<file>) Everything still works properly when I  
add the slash to the URL.

Any ideas of how to make this work?

Thanks,
