How to pass arguments through ProxyPass in Apache

  • 772

What I'm trying to do and I've got stuck is:

I've got apache server that will catch certain url's and for some of them, he will use ProxyPass (or mod_rewrite) to pass something as reverse proxy to another apache instance.

So I've got url like this:

/index.php/info?format=xml&token=SOMENUMERICTOKEN&token=SUMENUMERICTOKEN

I've tried :

PassProxy /index.php/info?format=xml https://1.2.3.4:567/index.php/info?format=xml

and relevant ProxyReverse but it's not working

Also tried Rewrite with same lines and [P] ending for proxying.

Non of them work.

They would work if i end with /index.php but I cannot allow access to index.php

    ProxyPass only operates on the part of the URL matched, and not on the query string. IF you include the query string in the pattern you will never get a match.

    So in order to do what you want you would use something like:

    ProxyPass /index.php/info https://1.2.3.4:567/index.php/info

    Although in this case you probably could even use:

    ProxyPass / https://1.2.3.4:567/

    Basically see proxypass as a sort of "search and replace". "ProxyPass A B" basically means "find A in the URL en if found, replace with B".

  2. OK.

    I've just left /index.php/info in ProxyPass and it worked. Maybe it was something with escaping ? mark.

    Works.
