I have another issue with Apache. When I use it as a proxy, the page
is stripped off the CSS and javascript.

Here is the rule I use:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} survey08app
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(userAdmin)
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/loginForm.htm [L,P]

If I take out the P for Proxy, everything looks fine sans the URL. I
used P in the first place to not show the IP address 192.168.5.10.

There is something basic that I am missing. Your kind help is
appreciated.
Thanks

Rather than rewriterules try mod_proxy and freinds (assuming version 2.2)
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html

if you're proxying a page hosted on 192.168.5.10 that instructs the browser to
load additional files (such as cascading stylesheets and javascript) that are
also hosted on 192.168.5.10, then you either need to proxy those additional
assets, or move them onto a publicly-accessible web server and rewrite the web
content to point at their new public location.

if http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/loginForm.htm contains instructions like
<link rel=css href=/survey08app/loginForm.css> and <script
src=/survey08app/loginForm.js> -- the web browser is going to request those from
your public server, and you'll need to host them publicly or proxy those files
as well.

you might try something lazy and just proxy everything that falls under a
certain directory, along the lines of:

RewriteRule ^/survey08app/(.*)$ http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/$1 [L,P]

so if your user's browser requests any of

/survey08app/loginform.php
/survey08app/loginform.css
/survey08app/someotherfile.etc.etc

those are proxied from

http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/loginform.php
http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/loginform.css
http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/someotherfile.etc.etc

respectively.

Hi Sean
I changed the rule as you suggested.

The website in question has a login form. The user enters the email id
and if valid the next form is shown. For some reason, upon submission
of the form the IP address is shown. Whereas if I try the second page
with proxy in the URL, it works.

Let me try to illustrate this as follows:

http://proxy/survey08app/loginForm.htm ---> shows up correctly

Fill the form and expect http://proxy/survey08app/page2.htm
but instead I get http://192.168.5.10/survey08app/page2.htm

However, if I try http://proxy/survey08/page2.htm it shows up
correctly and I am able to complete the survey with proxy settings.

There is nothing special about page2 to prevent the proxy settings.

I'd appreciate your kind help.

Thanks

All the objects/assets are referred relative to survey08app. I am able
to view all the pages individually by using proxy.

http://proxy/survey08app/page0 thru http://proxy/survey08app/pageend
are all accessible without a hitch.

Whereas, when I try clicking the submit button on page0 the proxy is
gone!

I have one more piece of info to add. The app requires a session. It
seems the session is created upon submitting the login form.... is
there a way I can force apache to create a session if none specified
in the landing page? Approx the logic is:

a) serve the landing page
b) GET the landing page; create session; serve the second page
c) continue with survey on the same session

These pages are created for Spring framework (a Java nightmare :).

Used the QSA with P & L. Doesn't seem to make a diff.

Thanks

Tried the following after recompiling apache 2.2.4 distro with proxy
enabled:


<VirtualHost *:81>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass / http://192.168.5.10/
TransferLog "logs/proxy.log"
</virtualHost>

The login page appears correctly. Once the form is submitted the url
reverts back to 192.168.5.10
Please help.
Thanks

Finally it worked with the ProxyPassReverse added with good
measure. :>


<VirtualHost *.81>
ProxyPass / http://192.168.5.10/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.5.10/
TransferLog "logs/proxy.log"
</VirtualHost>
