Proxypass for certain folder

apache-2.4mod-proxyproxypass

Using Apache (Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu), ProxyPass (mod_proxy), how can I serve content from one host to a folder on another host?

Example:

pears.com/folder
oranges.com/folder

I would like requests made on oranges.com/folder to be served the content that is in pears.com/folder. oranges.com/folder does not exist.

I tried some of the examples from, apache.org/docs.
In orange's virtualhost config:

ProxyHTMLStripComments on  
ProxyRequests off  
SetOutputFilter proxy-html  
ProxyHTMLDoctype XHTML  
SSLProxyEngine on  
SetEnv no-gzip 1  

<Location /folder>
   ProxyPass pears.com/folder  
   ProxyPassReverse pears.com/folder  
   Order allow,deny  
   Allow from all  
</Location>

The error I receive is,

The webpage at https://pears.com/folder/ might be temporarily down or
it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

Edit – The solution was to disable compression on the pears server

Tomcat – Basic auth Apache with Tomcat

It made me suspicious that I got a 401 error from the tomcat application. it seems, that apache fowarded the authorization request, though it shouldn't. I had to remove the "Authorization" parameter from the request header.

To do this. I enabled mod_headers and added RequestHeader unset "Authorization" just before the ProxyPass directives.

So my config looks like the following now:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ProxyRequests           Off
        ProxyPreserveHost       On

        RequestHeader unset "Authorization"       

        <Location "/tickets/rest/">
                  Satisfy Any
                  Order allow,deny
                  Allow from all
        </Location>

        <Location />
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Restricted Content"
                AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
                Require user myuser
        </Location>

        ProxyPass                /tickets       http://localhost:8081/tickets
        ProxyPassReverse         /tickets       http://localhost:8081/tickets

</VirtualHost>

EDIT:

Jira uses its own REST-API for the gadgets, so I had to define a Location-Tag for /tickets/rest path.

removed proxy-tag
added Location-Tag for the jira-rest API
