Hmm. ProxyPass do not let one append a query string and what I want will not be achievable with mod_proxy. The other way round is using mod_rewrite, but somehow I am not able to get the translation happening The below configuration is giving me error. Forum please advice <Location /protected> AuthType ECOERP::EcoErpAuthLogin AuthName ECOERP PerlAuthenHandler ECOERP::EcoErpAuthLogin->authenticate PerlAuthzHandler ECOERP::EcoErpAuthLogin->authorize require valid-user RewriteEngine ON RewriteRule /protected http://localhost:9999 [P] </Location>
How do I read the query string? I want all URL in the form http://example.com/protected to proxy to http://localhost:9999/parse.pl?username=<from the login form>&password=<from the login form> Please help!!!
