Hi.
environment : Apache 2.2, all platforms
In the doc. for RewriteRule it specifies :
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Similarly, the doc. for ProxyPass indicates :
Context: server config, virtual host, directory
Does the above mean that they apply also to a <Location> section ?
Looking at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html
it seems so, but I'd like to be sure.
Underlying question :
I currently have the following directives in a <VirtualHost> :
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/script.pl$ /getit [P]
ProxyPass /getit http://another-host.com/getit
ProxyPassReverse /getit http://another-host.com/getit
this works fine.
I would like however, that *before* the above proxying to the back-end
takes place, such requests would be subject to AAA on the front-end
server. For this, I would define a <Location> as follows :
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/script.pl$ /getit [L]
...
<Location /getit>
Authname something
... (other AAA-related directives)
ProxyPass ^.* http://another-host.com/getit
ProxyPassReverse / http://another-host.com/
</Location>
Would that work ?
I am asking because this is a production server, with no real good test
server available for testing this beforehand.
Thanks.
