Description Ryszard Łach 2011-08-30 07:43:01 UTC 
Hi.

It is currently not possible to use rule extension with handlers and e.g. mod_rewrite. The rule

RewriteRule .*\.xml$ - [H=jakarta-servlet,E=JK_WORKER_NAME:lb;use_server_errors=404,L]

Causes an error

[info] jk_handler::mod_jk.c (2623): Could not find a worker for worker name=lb;use_server_errors=404

It would be nice to be able to set a rule extension in an JK_WORKER_NAME value.

Cheers,

Ryszard.

Interesting idea. Rule extensions were only meant to be used in uriworkermap.properties, and I was quite astonished when testing now, that they also work for JkMount.

In r1187950 I added support for their use when dynamically defining worker names using JK_WORKER_NAME.

Note that some rules need a comma in their value, which will result in a syntax error when used in a RewriteRule. You can instead use SetEnvIf if it suffices for your needs. Otherwise you are limited to the rules that don't need a comma.

Regards,

Rainer
