Apache > Proxy > How to forward HTTP request with POST data

Question

I plan to use the Apache proxy module ie mod_proxy to forward an incoming HTTP POST request from a jump machine to another server inside a LAN.

I succeeded in forwarding pure HTTP request, but with the POST data I do not know why it just does not work.

My settings in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf looks something like:

 ProxyRequests On
 ProxyVia On
 <Proxy *>
 Order deny,allow
 Allow from all
 </Proxy>
 ProxyPass /oozie/start_wf http://168.17.1.204:11000/oozie/v1/jobs?action=start
 ProxyPassReverse /oozie/start_wf http://168.17.1.204:11000/oozie/v1/jobs?action=start

Is there anything more I need to add to this part of configuration?

The following entry on httpd.conf file should work.

 Listen 80 <VirtualHost *:80> ProxyPreserveHost On ServerName mycompany.com ServerAlias mycompany.com ProxyPass /appServer http://<application_server_ip>:<port> ProxyPassReverse /appServer http://<application_server_ip>:<port> Redirect "/login" "/appServer/<application_context_root>/login" Redirect "/logout" "/appServer/<application_context_root>/logout" <Directory "/var/www/html"> order allow,deny allow from all RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.html [NC,L] </Directory> </VirtualHost>
