Hi Folks, I am experiencing an rather odd issue with mod_jk not forwarding from Apache to Tomcat for my web application. Basically, I have configured mod_jk to forward everything under a webapp to Tomcat and things are working fine for 'regular' URI's
e.g. http://www.myhost.com/myApp/loginServletMapping will work fine (request is forwarded to Tomcat). Problem arises when I have a hyperlink in the body of an email that access a servlet in the same webapp, where the hyperlink url is in the form http://www.myhost.com/myApp/goToServlet/S325/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.com where I will get a 404 not found page returned by Apache when clicked. I have monitored the mod_jk logs and the Tomcat logs and I am sure nothing gets passed on when the above URL is being requested. I have done further tests and foud that if I include anything with %3A%2F%2F (://) as part of the path in the URI, then mod_jk will not forward. Any pointers as to where I have gone wrong and is this a security design on mod_jk's part? Have googled around for 2 days without much luck. As a control test, I tried accessing the page directly with Tomcat using http://www.myhost.com:8080/myApp/goToPage/S325/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.com, it will correctly as intended. Here is my mod_jk config in httpd.conf JkWorkersFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/workers.properties JkLogFile "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log 86400" JkLogLevel error JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] " JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURIProxy -ForwardDirectories JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T" JkShmFile /var/log/httpd/jk.shm JkShmSize 256 [below is contained within a VirtualHost directive ...] JkMount /myApp/* w2 Incidentally, for the JkOption, I have tried using ForwardURIProxy, ForwardURICompat, ForwardURICompatUnparsed and ForwardURIEscaped to no avail. I am running Apache 2.2.8 and Tomcat 5.5.26 with mod_jk 1.2.26 on Ubuntu 6.06 Many thanks for your help James -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mod_jk-not-forwarding-URI-with-escaped-protocol-string-to-Tomcat-tp19141501p19141501.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
