New issue 107 by endre.cz...@gmail.com: request-filename breaks behind proxy
http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/issues/detail?id=107

Hi,

I am trying to set up UrlRewriter behind a proxy server.

The proxy server configured as

ProxyPass / ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/mycontext/

It works well.

I need to set up some rules to redirect missing images to a default folder:

<rule>
<note>Fallback rules for template images</note>
<condition type="request-filename" operator="notfile"/>
<from>^/templates/[^/]+/images/(.*)$</from>
<to last="true">/images/default/$1</to>
</rule>

When I access my server directly, the rule works well, it can find both
existing and non-existing files.
Via proxy, it tries to find the file under
<full-context-path>/<context-name>/templates/... (like
[...]\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\webapps\mycontext\mycontext\templates\test\images\test.gif

My configuration could be wrong, but I tried what I could thought of. :)

Endre

PS: Thanks for your efforts, the filter seems to be very useful.

I eventually made it work (at least in my environment), so I attached a
patch, it maybe useful for someone else.
