Apache Mod Proxy with HTTP Post

I have configured my proxy as below
ProxyRequests off

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

ProxyPass /tproxy/ http://twitter.com/
ProxyPassReverse /tproxy/ http://twitter.com/
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding

I am trying access Twitter webservice REST APIS from my client..
Everything works fine, if I make a HTTP GET request and I get a XML
response Back..
But my webService REST request for HTTP POST fails.. and Logs also do not
say anyting..


Please guide.

Hi.
From the above, it is not very clear what is not working, or even if it
is any problem of Apache, rather than a problem of your client or of
Twitter (like, does it support POST ?).
Can you please be a little bit more explicit about what you are sending
where, what your client is, if you have looked at the packets being sent
back and forth, if you have tried doing these POST requests directly to
Twitter from your client, what you mean by "it fails" etc.. ?
Keep in mind that this being an Apache support forum, people here do not
necessarily have any idea about the Twitter REST API for instance.

Re: Apache Mod Proxy with HTTP Post

Thank you for the response.. I haven't sniffed the packets, I need to look
into that. but the summary is if I make a HTTP POST request from browser to
twitter using apache PROXY it fails, it sends me a HTTP STATUS as 0.. and I
get HTTP Failed output..
If I do the same request, using the following PHP Proxy..
tweetr.serviceHost = "labs.swfjunkie.com/tweetr/proxy"; it works

please find the details..

My HTTP POST Request is http://mysite/tproxy/direct_messages/new.xml
contentType : application/x-www-form-urlencoded
requestHeaders :Authorization:Basic bWFya2F0aGFydmVzdDptaXJhY2xl
POST DATA
myusername, This is my samepl msg

HTTP Response I get is followingHTTP STATUS Code 0

MY Virtual Host Configuration is

ServerName myServer
ServerAlias myServer.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/myServer"
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

ProxyRequests off

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

ProxyPass /tproxy/ http://twitter.com/
ProxyPassReverse /tproxy/ http://twitter.com/
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding

#custom log file
LogLevel debug
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mysite.local.error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mysite.local.access.log combined




I will look into the packet sniffing, but not sure what to find over there..
