Configuring URL-based cache filtering for reverse proxy scenarios
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Set the CacheByIncomingURL directive "on" for configuring URL-based cache filtering. For reverse proxy, define the desired cache filter in a format that starts with a document root of / (front slash).
 
Resolving the problem
When using cache filters in a reverse proxy scenario, follow the steps below:
1. Set the CacheByIncomingURL directive on in the ibmproxy configuration file.

When this directive is turned on, the cache file names are generated based on the initial URL within the incoming request. If this directive is turned off, the incoming URL is first passed through all applicable name translation plugins, MAP rules, and PROXY rules, and the generated cache file name is based on the resulting URL.

2. Define the desired cache filters.

In a reverse proxy scenario for URL-based cache filters, use a format starting with a document root of / (front slash). (The format should not include a protocol http://.)

An example of the correct format is:
/test/index.html
