I am trying to hide my MS Exchange web-mail server (IIS) behind an
Apache web server by using Apache as a reverse proxy. The proxy
functions as far as passing data from the IIS server to the Internet
client but in doing so, it breaks the Java and VB scripts used in the
web pages being reverse proxied. Script source code appears where the
java script is located on the page. I have spent a good deal of time
attempting to resolve this on my own but have not been able to do so.

Is this a problem with Apache or do I have a configuration problem?
=20
I'm using Apache 1.3.23-14 on RedHat 7.3
The relevant portion of my httpd.conf file is below. .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ernie

The problem is most probably Apache - there have been a number of
important fixes in v1.3.26 from .23.

Unfortunately Redhat has done absolutely nothing about releasing a new
version of Apache despite being notified of these problems over three
months ago, and being subsequently chased up about this.

As a result of this, I would recommend you build from source, or install
a binary and see if that solves your problems.

Umm, redhat did nothing???

Redhat back-ported the patch for 1.3.22 so you wouldn't lose backwards
compatiblity.

Yep, unfortunately RH has done nothing to date :(

The URL you link to above has nothing to do with the problem being
discussed.
