Forum OpenACS Q&A: nsvhr patch

Collapse
Posted by Mat Kovach on
I wanted to setup some virtual hosting using OpenACS 4.0 that used proxying from a main server to backend servers.  nsvhr works good for that but there was two problems:

* nsvhr did not add the X-Forwarded-For header that
nslog can use to make the log files record the correct
peer address

* there was an issue with file uploads.

I created a patch with appears to fix both those problems.
Please note the patches are currently in a 'I works for me
state'.

I little searching found this forum posting:

https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=169655

Which included a link to

http://borkware.com/rants/aolserver-vhosting/

who had the exact same solution to the file upload
problem as me so I am safely assuming it works fine.

I'm going to be submitting this patch to AOLserver
folks but since there was a recent thread I thought
I would share the patch here.
