![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description The customer is receiving a 404 errors in the browser when trying to hit the "BigEdWebApp" application. There appears to be plugin Uri matching issue created when using rewriting modules.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of IHS * * and mod_rewrite * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WAS plugin uses wrong URI when * * mod_rewrite is used. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When mod_rewrite would rewrite a URL that was destined for WebSphere, the plugins would end up using the original URI at one stage of the processing, causing the request to fail. The plugins were pulling the URL from two different places ( one encoded, the other not ) - only one of those places actually gets changed by mod_rewrite ( or any other IHS/apache module that modifies the URL ). The plugins would try to use this inconsistent pair of URLs to handle the request, and fail.Problem conclusion Modified the plugins so they only pull the URL from the one place that they're supposed to. The change was made to both the IHS and iPlanet plugins. IIS and Domino don't have the problem. ( For iPlanet the problem can be triggered by anything that launches subrequests, like server side includes. The iPlanet SSI problem was already addressed in PQ62167 - this APAR addresses it in a more general fashion, and should prevent new problems of this nature in either of the two plugins ).Temporary fix Comments
