I have been researching this for last few weeks and now hit a brick wall. May be someone here can shed some light on this. I want to know if this is even possible?
Background:
I have apache as http and tomcat as servlet container using mod_jk. They are running a java app on Solaris 10.
Issue Description:
As we all know http request default listening port is 80. I wanted to create a application URL (runs inside company intranet) that will not have port information as it does today:
I want URL to simply have
To do this I thought following needs to be done:
a) A port redirect i.e. 80 to something that will be used in virtual server directive of apache httpd.conf file
b) Use virtual server directive in apache httpd.conf file ex:
LISTEN 80
NameVirtualHost *:80
<Virtual Host *:80>
ServerName fakename.xx.com
RewriteEnginer on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$/app_xxx/$1 [L,PT]
JKMount /* tomcatinstancename
</Virtual Host>
Well, due to security reason a port 80 re-direct will not be allowed. So reference of port 80 in above code is not an option.
Do I have to any other option or method to accomplish the above?
