Apache Friends Support Forum

I am trying to create a reverse proxy for an application that has some links needing rewriting within the proxied content as well as within the headers. I tried a tiny Perl filter invoked through

ExtFilterDefine fixhtml mode=output intype=text/html \
cmd="c:/Program\ Files/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe /pgms/filter.pl"
<Location /client/>
# fixhtml filter will be run on output
SetOutputFilter fixhtml
</Location>

I have tested the filter outside of Apache (it does what it is supposed to do on STDIN and sends it to STDOUT.) Now perl is executed but never returns. Any ideas?

Sorry, no idea about your problem "with mod_ext_filter".

But:

a reverse proxy for an application that has some links needing rewriting within the proxied content as well as within the headers.

Why are not using "mod_proxy_html"?
