Apache: send data from reverse Proxy to Application Server

This entry was posted by on Monday, 18 October, 2010 at

It’s possible to send data from the reverse proxy to the server doing the work using HTTP Headers. This includes information if HTTPS is used (only the front server knows that) or geoIP information.

Example Apache conf

<Location /eParcel>
# tells if we are running http or https s
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-HTTPS “%{HTTPS}s”
<Location>

ProxyPass /tintifax http://example.com/tintifax/
ProxyPassReverse /tintifax http://example.com/tintifax/
