Hi David, @list; first off, both thanks a lot for pointing me the right way, and let me apologize, as well, as this seems to be a question where RTFM would have been helpful before bothering the list - however, I wasn't aware that tomcat would need a special setup in order to run behind a proxy.
By now, it basically is working the way I want it, leaving only one issue: This whole configuration is just almost unusable in our environment.:/ One of the core parts of the application to be proxied relies upon refreshing frequently (read, each second) using "Refresh" headers, and somehow this doesn't seem to work accessing the page from the outside through the apache2 proxy. There are several different phenomenons to appear almost randomly: - Sometimes, the "Refresh" of the site works well, the result is displayed well. - Sometimes, the site refresh ends up displaying a "302 moved - this document is <a..>here</a>". This sometimes also includes partial or full textual output of the page to be refreshed. - Sometimes, just nothing happens, ending with a blank page. Depending on how the proxy is configured (using mod_proxy or mod_rewrite), things are better or worse but never really pleasing. Questions, this way: - Can I get "Refresh" headers through a reverse proxy in a working way with a configuration like that? - Is this strange behaviour more likely to be a matter of configuration or of slow network / hardware? - Right now I am looking at mod_jk(2) to see how this will do - is this likely to get me out of this trouble given that tomcat and apache2 are running on different hosts? Thanks a lot for any inspirations and help.
