Greetings Bill! Is it possible to use ProxyVia with mod_rewrite since we use rewrite to hide the port number and folder of the zope websites? Thanks.

My setup right now has apache in front then zope. When I do a <dtml-var REMOTE_ADDR> it gives the address of the apache server. Is there a way to get the address of the visitor and not the apache server?
There is a patch for Apache which leads it, when acting as a Proxy, to forward the incoming request information it is seeing in an HTTP VIA header (See RFC2616) which it adds to the request. There is info about this patch at http://www.zope.org/Members/unfo/apache_zserver_ssl but I've not yet used it myself.
I don't think the patch is needed anymore. I have a proxy_pass server setup, and use the "ProxyVia Full" directive. Not only can I use <dtml-var REMOTE_ADDR>, but the original IP also shows up in the Z2.log file. Apache version is 1.3.19-5 (Included in RH 7.1). Bill Anderson
