Thanks for building this, Brian. It’s not working for me. We’ve been using it with success with isapi_rewrite but ever since our upgrade to rails 2 (including this release of reverse_proxy_fix) it’s been broken.

@Christian:

Have you checked the options for the helper? We use TinyMCE on a lot of our projects and that has the ability to change how URLs work. I’m sure there’s a solution as I’ve used FCK with some projects without issue as well. If I find the solution I’ll post it in the blog.

I think this plugin is awesome ! Saved me from insanity at least, when I tried to deploy my application behind Apache 2 reverse proxy. There is still one thing I can’t solve though: I use FCKEditor Plugin in my app and the links produced by the fckeditor_helper are not fixed by Reverse Proxy (no clue why). Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks again for your great work !! :grin:

@Brian Candler
Wow. Thanks for those. This last release was really rushed out. I’ve taken your feedback and rolled it into the plugin.

Just a few notes:

(1) In your posting, svn.napcs.com should be svn.napcsweb.com ?

(2) install.rb appears to be Windows-specific - under Linux it borks.

$ script/plugin install http://svn.napcsweb.com/public/reverse_proxy_fix
…
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require’: no such file to load — FileUtils (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require’
from /home/candlerb/svn/dev/projects/deploy2/trunk/vendor/plugins/reverse_proxy_fix/install.rb:5

The fix is simple:
[ edited for space by Brian Hogan - fix integrated into the svn repository ]
(3) The README file still says “REVERSE PROXY PLUGIN v1.04.1 (December 17th, 2007)”, so either the svn repository hasn’t updated, or the README file wasn’t updated for the new release
