After some effort, I finally got Apache with an SSL connection to correctly proxy to Jenkins at localhost:8080/jenkins. There were two issues:
(1) The AllowEncodedSlashes setting is not inherited by virtual hosts, and virtual hosts are used in many default Apache configurations, such as the one in Ubuntu. The workaround is to add the AllowEncodedSlashes setting inside a VirtualHost container (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default in Ubuntu). ( this text was copied from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4390436/need-to-allow-encoded-slashes-on-apache ). An Apache bug (#46830) was opened and fixed. However, it is still an issue in Apache 2.4.7 on Ubuntu. When only declared globally, Jenkins reports that the reverse proxy setup is broken. It might be worth mentioning this as a possible cause here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+says+my+reverse+proxy+setup+is+broken (2) Some pages returned absolute links (e.g., "http://localhost:8080/jenkins/..."; ) rather than relative links. Specifically, go to Jenkins' "People" page and select a user. The user's icon is broken. To fix this, I added an output filter that made any absolute links relative. I haven't actually add jobs yet. But, hopefully, someone will find this information useful :) -- Scott Here's my final Apache configuration file: # The following directive is not inherited by virtual hosts and *must* additionally be copied to each virtual host declaration AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode # Jenkins must be configured with prefix "/jenkins" and port 8080 <Proxy http://localhost:8080/jenkins*> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> <Location /jenkins> ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/jenkins nocanon ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/jenkins Header edit Location ^http://([^/]+)/jenkins https://$1/jenkins # This fixes absolute links to http://localhost:8080/jenkins AddOutputFilterByType INFLATE;SUBSTITUTE;DEFLATE text/html Substitute "s|http://localhost:8080/|/|n" Order deny,allow Allow from all Require all granted </Location> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
