Proxy re-writing servlet query uri

[dbrownie]

Hi,

Using IIS 5, Tomcat 4.1.24 and JK2 as connector:

Have servlets registered in workers2.properties as, EG,

[uri:/servlet/MyServlet]
info=My servlet
context=/
debug=1

For examples sake will call the server "myserver".

The redirection works fine for users accessing "myserver" directly. The successful query looks like this and is fine:

HTTP POST /servlet/MyServlet

For users going via a proxy, however, the servlet POST has been prepended with the server name in transit, so the POST is changed to:

HTTP POST

http://myserver/servlet/MyServlet

Obviously this is not registered in jk2, and so we get a 405 Resource Not Allowed.

Ive tried registering the full URL but that still fails, and anyway, jk2 expects all URIs to start with a slash. So these dont work either:

[uri:*/servlet/MyServlet] or [uri:

http://myserver/servlet/MyServlet

]

Is there a way to prevent this modification of the query? Should it be done via config of the proxy, or somewhere in jk2/IIS/Tomcat.

Thanks alot in advance for any help.
