I don't think that rewrite rules have to do anything with this. Anyway, here's my apache config: <VirtualHost x.x.x.x:443> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown ServerName x.y.z ServerAdmin x@y.z SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile certs/x.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile certs/private/x.key ErrorLog logs/x_error_log CustomLog logs/x_access_log combined CustomLog logs/x_sslreq_log sslrequest RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8001/VirtualHostBase/https/%{SERVER_NAME}:%{SERVER_PORT }/Instances/a/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [P] </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost x.x.x.x:444> ServerName x.y.z SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile certs/x.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile certs/private/x.key RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8001/VirtualHostBase/https/%{SERVER_NAME}:%{SERVER_PORT }/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [P] </VirtualHost> First VH is the 'main entrance' for the users, the second is for maintenance.
P.S. : I also use SiteRoot (not VirtualHostMonster) and mod_gzip ? Could my problem come from here ??
I could imagine that mod_gzip waits till the completion of the response before sending the results back. Regards, Sandor
