[Dancer-users] strangeness with Dancer prefix and apache proxy

[Tiago Quintela]

Hi, i had your trailing slash problem this week and i just corrected my
handler regexs to something like '/foo\/?', so that you don't get the 404.
As far as i know, Apache proxypassreverse handles the problem with a 302.

For example, an HTTP redirection often takes place when a user (or author)
forgets a trailing slash in a URL. So the response to a request for
http://www.example.com/app1/foo proxies to
http://internal.example.com/foowhich generates a response:


        HTTP/1.1 302 Found
        Location: http://internal.example.com/foo/
        (etc)

But from the outside world, the net effect of this is a "No such host"
error. The proxy needs to re-map the Location header to its own address
space and return a valid URL


        HTTP/1.1 302 Found
        Location: http://www.example.com/app1/foo/

The command to enable such rewrites in the HTTP Headers is
ProxyPassReverse. The Apache documentation suggests the form:
