[Catalyst-dev] Trouble with ProxyPass

[Jillian Rowe]

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my application running under ProxyPass using
Apache. I'm not entirely sure if it my worries lie in catalyst or
apache. I do have another application (not catalyst) which uses
proxypass with the exact same SSL config and its fine.

It will display pages fine, but when I go to submit a form I get the
following:

"Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to
be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a
third party.

Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?"


This is what my apache config looks like:


        ProxyRequests On
        ProxyVia On
        ProxyReceiveBufferSize 16384
        <Location />
                ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:3000/
                ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:3000/
                SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
                SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

                SSLRequireSSL
                SetHandler perl-script
                RequestHeader set X-URL-SCHEME https
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Location>

I have $c->config->{using_frontend_proxy} = 1.

My application works fine if I just do localhost:3000, and it also works
fine when I run it as a fastcgi application. I do not get the security
warning when running either under development or fastcgi.

I am looking into using the proxypass option solely for development. I
am working on an application that uses very big data and log into a
virtualbox for it. I have several file locations that are references to
urls.

  Alias /bigdata /data/share/web_public/bigdata
        <Directory /data/share/web_public/bigdata>
           AllowOverride All
           Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
           order Allow,Deny
           Allow from all
        </Directory>

So I need something happening with apache I think. Is there anyway to
get Catalyst to alias those paths for me?

I have really been making my head explode over this, and help would be
very appreciated!!!

Best,
Jillian
