Hello, I'm setting up an Apache reverse proxy (for Apache 2.0.52 on RHEL4) and am struggling with the following problem:
when mapping http://proxy/remote/ to http://remote/, I have been able to replace all references to server remote using ProxyPass, ProxyPassReverse and mod_proxy_html module to rewrite URLs in the HTML content. However, the proxied application has "login" functionality and thus sets a cookie. While I have been working on the revrese proxy setup for the last couple of days, I believe I'm now stuck: the proxied app is generating cookies with domain "remote", which I want to replace with domain "proxy" so that the client's browser will send the crorect cookie after logging in (as opposed to being redirected to the login screen every time...). I have googled and found content filters mod_substitute, mod_sed, mod_ext_filter but these only change content, not response headers. I've noticed that Apache 2.2 mod_proxy has directives to deal with cookie domain and path - but I have Apache 20.! Similarly, mod_headers has a "Header edit" command - but only for Apache 2.2! So my question is: Using Apache 2.0 as a reverse proxy, how can I edit (i.e. perform a substitution) on a response header (Set-Cookie in my case) returned by a proxied server? I'm thinking of something which can 1. save the contents of a response header to an environment variable 2. filter the variable 3. unset and rewrite response header using variable contents But I'm not sure if mod_rewrite is suited to manipulations based on RESPONSE headers (it does not seem to be). Does anyone know of a workaround to change cookie domaisn and paths in an Apache 2.0 reverse proxy?
