Yes, but the thing is that since no proxy rule tells the reverse proxy to forward the request to the back end, i.e. https://myserver/doc-literal, the reverse proxy will look for a file beneath it's document root that matches the URL path.
If you now replace "RewriteRule ^/services/doc-literal https://myserver/doc-literal [P]" with "RewriteRule ^/doc-literal(.*) https://myserver/doc-literal$1 [P]", you may get the desired behaviour... -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Suzy Fynes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 8:09 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] reverse proxy with Apache 2.0 I'm trying to access a service though not a file or webpage so there would be a file to access. -----Original Message----- From: Axel-Stéphane SMORGRAV [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 December 2005 16:02 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] reverse proxy with Apache 2.0 That says it all, doesn't it? There are no rules to proxy /doc-literal to the back end... so the request ends up with a HTTP 404 response: file not found. So either the URL is wrong, or another rule must be added. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Suzy Fynes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 4:52 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] reverse proxy with Apache 2.0 Hi, Thanks a million for your help!!
