<Location /image>
RewriteEngine on
Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass "http://localhost:PORT/image"
ProxyPassReverse "http://localhost:PORT/image"
</Location>
Do I have to write this piece of code for every param?
No. The RewriteEngine
directive doesn't do anything there and neither the Options
nor the AllowOverride
directives make any sense when you don't map to resources on the local file system. Those options are controlled and need to be set by the "remote" webserver that you are forwarding the requests to with the ProxyPass
directive.
Since those directives are useless, then you don't need the Location bracket either to set them and can use the inline ProxyPass
syntax that is recommended anyway.
That reduces your syntax to only the necessary lines:
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass "/image" "http://localhost:PORT/image"
ProxyPassReverse "/image" "http://localhost:PORT/image"
ProxyPass "/file" "http://localhost:PORT/file"
ProxyPassReverse "/file" "http://localhost:PORT/file"
Apache httpd does offer the Include
directive to maintain a single configuration snippet with settings that you want to include verbatim in different places, VirtualHost, Location, Directory blocks without copying the same lines time after time.
