Bug#330854: sympa: robot config doesn't work if wws is behind apache proxy

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 07:10:21 -0700

We took your proposal into account in the current development version of Sympa as described below :
Fix problems when using Sympa in a proxy context (virtual robot selection, navigation in web archives). 
WWSympa now uses the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SERVER and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST header fields if set
Here is a patch : http://sourcesup.cru.fr/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/sympa/wwsympa/wwsympa.fcgi?r1=1.574&r2=1.575

The robot works by looking for the environment variable SERVER_NAME.
However if the web server is sitting behind an apache1.3 proxy,
SERVER_NAME is not set. Instead the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SERVER variable has
the frontend name, and SERVER_NAME has the name of the backend host.

Can the package be made to check either variable?
  Or
Can the documentation be updated to mention this limitation?

Cheers
