I'm having trouble using mod_deflate to compress content that is going
through my reverse proxy using apache 2.0.46. All requests go to a
default virtual host, and then I use RewriteConf/RewriteRule [P] to
carve off certain hostnames to reverse proxy to another webserver. We
use this approach for testing, so normally everyone sees the regular set
of files, but before deploying I can setup special hostnames to see a
newer site version.
Configuration looks like this...
UseCanonicalName Off
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /foobar
ServerName www.lokitech.com
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} \.lokitech\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^lokitech\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8082/$1 [P]
ProxyPreserveHost On
</VirtualHost>
Let's say I'm hosting www.lokitech.com and www.prestosports.com on this
server. With this setup, a request for an HTML URL on
www.prestosports.com will get compressed, but a request for an HTML URL
on www.lokitech.com will not get compressed.
I've done extensive google searching and saw there was something about
how mod_deflate and mod_proxy are not compatible, but it wasn't clear if
this is outdated or if there is a workaround.
Beyond instantly telling me how to fix this, I'm mainly hoping for
suggestions to diagnose why the filter would not get applied to the
proxy requests. Thanks in advance.
