Does the mod_jk module reads .htaccess, i know mod_proxy dont if you did something like this
ProxyPass / http://localhost:9080/
since you will be passing everything to the tomcat container. Will doing the same with JkMount work, e.g.
JkMount /ajp13
JkMount /* ajp13
Does it parse only jsp(even if i didnt specify explicilty) and leave the rest to apache, i would like to know how it internally work.
