This seems to be some combo of mod_perl, apache and Mason.
--------------------
I have two apache instances running with Mason and mod_perl. I'm
rewriting urls from a subdirectory from instance #1 to instance #2.
For instance, http://myserver.com/spanish/* gets rewritten to
http://myserver2.com/spanish/*
This seems to work fine unless the url is a direct path to say
http://myserver.com/spanish/index.html. In this case, the request
doesn't go to the http://myserver2.com/spanish/index.html. Instead, I
am getting a mason error like below from http://myserver.com. On the
other hand, if I take the same url and replace the server name, it's
fine. So I know it's not the second apache instance. I think it's the
way the request is being proxied.
[Mason] Cannot resolve file to component:
proxy:http://myserver2.com/products/index.html (is file outside
component root?) at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm line
847.
However, my rewrite log for http://myserver.com is reporting:
rewrite /spanish/products/index.html ->
http://myserver2.com/products/index.html
forcing proxy-throughput with http://myserver2.com/products/index.html
go-ahead with proxy request
proxy:http://myserver2.com/products/index.html [OK]
I can see that Mason is trying to resolve
'proxy:http://myserver2.com/products/index.html' as a component path
on http://myserver.com, but this doesn't happen when the url path is
to a directory (like /products/). Instead, the request is forwarded
and the proper content is returned. I get similar rewrite entries in
the log in this second case.
This is an example entry in the rewrite log for the second case:
rewrite /spanish/products/ -> http://myserver2.com/products/
forcing proxy-throughput with http://myserver2.com/products/
go-ahead with proxy request proxy:http://myserver2.com/products/[OK]
Apache: 1.3.26 w/mod_perl < 1.99
Mason: 1.31

Any ideas?
