Serving proxy content from zope
No -- It is not one of those how do I reverse proxy from apache to access Zope. I want to do other way round. That is, I have a perfectly functioning zope server on port 80. I have, for legacy reasons, some apache servers. I want to serve content from them as a part of the zope server. Problems: 1. There does not seem to be a way to proxy external content into zope, as smoothly as proxypass does. 2. Even if it does, there seems to be the issue of urls in the external content. Eg: Suppose somehow I manage to get the extenal content and serve it as under the url /server1. Now suppose the external content has a link "/mystuff" in some text. I would have liked it to show up as "/server1/mystuff", so that all of it works out. How can I do that? Thanks in advance. Rama PS: Btw, what I am doing is not so crazy. Zope gives me all the integration I need with fine grained security mechanism I need. I just want to be able to use it, even if there is other dynamic content around. PPS: I searched the mailing lists, but apache and reverse proxy brings up too many references to how to run zope behind apache!

Zope behind apache is the right configuration for achieving what you want. Use apache configuration to glue the different sources into different urls Unless you want to apply Zope's fine-grained security model to apache pages.... Is that what you want?
Yes. I want to apply Zope's security model to the remote URLs. Also, if it gives me the ability to do some text modifications with standard_html_header and standard_html_footer, it would be even better. I used mod_rewrite and Virtual Host Monster.

Thanks for the link. It seems that it can help a bit (I played around with just a little). Still, it is not similar to the apache reverse proxy. FOr example, I do not see how cookies get sent back and forth from the proxy behind zope. Anyway, the search continues... -- Rama ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver Bleutgen" <myzope@gmx.net> To: "Ramarao Kanneganti" <rama@aalayance.com> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 11:49 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] Serving proxy content from zope
