I have a VirtualHost set to proxy all requests to another server running on port 9000.

What I have :

ProxyPass / http://localhost:9000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9000/

What I've tried :

! ProxyPass /test.html http://localhost:9000/
ProxyPass /test.html ! http://localhost:9000/
ProxyPassMatch !^/(.*\.html)$ http://localhost:9000/$1 

None of which worked...

I'd like to exclude a file or a set of files from being proxied, the documentation says something about "The ! directive is useful in situations where you don't want to reverse-proxy a subdirectory.", but there are no examples for that situation.

Ok, figured it out, turns out that - obviously - there's no need to specify the proxy for excluded paths.

ProxyPass /somedir !

works great

  • Hmm. This is interesting because if you were using AJP to link to Tomcat (for serving dynamic JSP content) , then this directive might allow you to , for example, exclude the "/images" directory on the server so that Tomcat serves the images instead of Tomcat???

  • Well, it does. I'm not sure I understand your question.

    Note that this has to go before the other ProxyPass directives in order to have an effect, since the first match is the one that gets applied. Jan 18, 2016 at 1:57
