Re: [jetty-users] How to use Jetty ProxyServlet for reverse proxying?

[Peter Boughton <jetty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Simone,

I've raised https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/6678

Are you saying a workaround is to create a rewrite rule to prevent the 
looping?

The Jetty instance where I encountered this has rewrite module enabled, 
but the only current rules are for other contexts (using 
VirtualHostRuleContainer); it'd be easy enough to add another one.

The aim is to use TryFilesFilter to serve static files with Default 
servlet then have all other URLs proxied to a non-Jetty backend server 
over HTTP. (It doesn't currently support FastCGI or I'd use that.)

So yeah, no need for balancing, content transforming, etc - just need 
the other server to handle the requests which would otherwise 404.


Thanks,

Peter
