Hiya Jonathan

When you install mod_perl 2.0, that should install all the Apache2 modules.

What errors are you getting?

Having trouble getting a PerlOutputFilterHandler to work, it's generating errors on the perl side. I think maybe I'm missing something I need to install for perl, the Apache2 module maybe? Anyone have any ideas?

Hey Dave, I am trying to set up mod_proxy to HIP too, and started from your directions… but I think I found an even much much simpler way to do it.

I _think_ that if you just put:

ProxyPreserveHost On

in your apache conf, you no longer need that Perl filter at all. Everything Just Works. It appears to. I almost didn't believe it could be this easy, but I'm using it, it seems to be working…

So if anyone wants to give that a try, avoid the perl filter and just use ProxyPreserveHost On, it's worth a try–and if anyone does and finds it is succesful let me know!

More generally:

sub check
{
my $str = shift;

$str =~ s|%3A81%2F|%2F|g;
$str =~ s|:81/|/|g;

return($str);
}

Here's an updated version of the ModProxyHIP script which I've found to be more reliable: ModProxyHIP
