This article helped me, i was able to configure the reverse proxy, but i ran to another issue. The internal application is now on the web , but the application seems to be having problems, link and login button on the page are not working well. The internal application runs on IIS. How can i resolve it ? Thank you in advance.

Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon everyday.

It will always be interesting to read through content from other authors and practice
a little something from other websites.

It appears that Apache's mod_proxy is not able to correctly reverse proxy 302 and 303's that redirect from http to https (or vice-versa) and make it seamless for the client.

Example:

Client—————————–ReverseProxy—————————-Internal
 
—https://ReverseProxy/foo—>
—http://Internal/foo—>
<—303: "http://internal/bar"—
<—http://ReverseProxy/bar—

Note that to the client, the connection method has changed from https to http. It seems that apache's ProxyPassReverse directive does not understand that the connection method needs to remain https (despite living inside of a virtualhost on port 443 with SSLEngine On).

Do you have any ideas how to force ProxyPassReverse to always return https to the client?

I have an application that check referer option in HTTP header and if this referer is out of my domain my application don't respond to client. When i use mod_proxy in reverse mod, referer option value is address of proxy server and therefore my application don't work correctly. I there a directive for changing referer by mod_proxy?

Is it also possible to configure mod_proxy within htaccess? Couldn't find anything about that on the net.

Publishing TFS Through a Reverse Proxy I have been trying to expose a Team Foundation Server 2010 using an apache 2.2 reverse proxy config and it seems to be impossible to implement. I am using this config :

ProxyPass / http://site.com:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /  http://site.com:8080/

I get these errors at some point on the TFS client while trying to get the latest version:

TF30063: You are not authorized to access Microsoft-IIS/7.5.

And the Apache log shows 401 errors:

HTTP/1.1" 401 - "-" "Team Foundation (devenv.exe, 10.0.30128.1)"

I believe it is related to NTLM auth being requested Has anyone successfully implemented this?

Hello, How I can specify dynamic URL mapping? In my case URL map is kept in database. So what 'header' can i change to inform mod_proxy_html to make correct changes?
