Rewrite content served by apache

Question

Hi guys,

I have an internal app (Jira) that i want to use internally and externally, now there might be another way of doing this in which case i'm open to it, but this is what i have so far:

URL one: https://domainname.com/jira  - external domain name for it
URL two: https://domainname.local/jira - internal network name for it.

I am running Apache as a reverse proxy and I have this:

<Location /jira>
    ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/jira
    ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/jira
</Location>

Jira creates all of its links using a base url, which in this case is set to 'https://domainname.local/jira', so obviously when pages get served to the outside world they have .local on them.

The question is, is there a way to have the content rewritten as it is served in order to change the .local addresses within the HTML to be the .com ones?

Or am i being a retard and there is an easier way to solve this?

Cheers for any help....

Andy

Answer 1

What about give a unique URL to JIRA? Your users may love this!

We use this with CNames, Apache's VirtualHosts, mod_jk to jira standalone edition and reverse proxies.

HIH!
