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

Question

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://lo

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


    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all


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

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

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!
