mod_rewrite does not proxy included requests

• Additional Comments From cramer@webkist.com 2002-11-27 15:15 ------- This doesn't work perfectly, I've discovered. Take the follwoing setup:

## relevant conf directives
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.php)$ http://localhost:8888/$1 [P] ##

$DocRoot/blah/ contains: index.php and test.html

Now...*without* patching mod_rewrite, a request for http://www.domain.org/blah/ will return index.php just fine, and it will be properly proxied over to localhost:8888. And, as this bug points out, if test.html just contains
<!--#include virtual="index.php"-->, requests for it return the unparsed source
of index.php, which is incorrect.

But if you remove the one line from mod_rewrite, allowing proxy requests in subrequests, the situation reverses. The SSI part works properly, but requests for /blah/ give you a directory index instead of the output of index.php.

So this patch doesn't do exactly the right thing.
