apache mod_proxy, configuring ProxyPass & ProxyPassReverse for cross-domain ajax calls

问题

I'm creating an html5 - JavaScript app (for mobile devices, using PhoneGap). I have to interact with a REST service.

The service is now running on "http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/"

I'm developing my app on an wamp server (apache2) (http://localhost/stage/) I'm using Chrome for browser.

when preforming an ajax call the browser responds: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/event. Origin http://localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

So I find several ways to circumvent this cross-domain ajax call problem:

1) starting chrome chrome.exe --disable-web-security => no difference

2) configuring apache using mod_proxy to redirect the traffic.

I enabled in the httpd.conf:

proxy_module
proxy_connect_module
proxy_http_module

I put a .htaccess file in the www root with the following content:

# start mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine On

ProxyRequests off
<Proxy>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /EMBackend/ http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/
ProxyPassReverse /EMBackend/ http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc/
RewriteRule ^/EMBackend/(.*)$ /backend/mvc/$1 [R]

I restarted all services (apache,php,..)

resulting in error 500

apache error log: [Tue Oct 18 14:30:11 2011] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/wamp/www/.htaccess: ProxyRequests not allowed here

Any clues on how to resolve this?

回答1:

I found a working solution:

Enable:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

Put this in the main section of your configuration (or desired virtual host, if using Apache virtual hosts):

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On

<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
ProxyPassReverse /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
<Location /EMBackend>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Location>

So I guess I can't put it in .htaccess or I had to set ProxyPreserveHost On. I put Include conf/extra/ in the httpd.conf file and created the httpd-proxy.conf file and put the script above in it. Restarted apache and it's working!

You could simply add the given lines in the httpd.conf after enabling the proxy modules.

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc
ProxyPassReverse /EMBackend http://localhost:8080/backend/mvc

Just restart the server and you are done.

In very modern apache, turn on proxy by:

a2enmod proxy;
a2enmod proxy_http
