UseCanonicalName influences things like redirects on the apache side. As far as I can recall, a redirect will use the canonical name if UseCanonicalName=on. That behaviour of apache can be totally undesired, since obviously the http client would be redirected to another domain and therefor cookies will be invalid and whatnot. On the other hand, UseCanonicalName=on was the only way to make sure that a http-request that matched a certain vhost on the apache site goes to a specific tomcat vhost. With UseCanonicalName=off you would basically have to adjust the tomcat config so that resembles the apache config with its servernames and serveraliases as close as possible. I'm not sure, if the latter is even possible in any case. The apache configuration language might be more powerful than the tomcat's. So with respect to mod_jk, UseCanonicalName=on can be desired while at the same time UseCanonicalName=off can be desired for redirect on the apache side. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
