Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)
Hi,

I'm running apache on my system. I have noticed the following request
from the log files and I'm surprised that apache responds to it.

GET http://www.yahoo.com/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.yahoo.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.00; Windows 9Cool

This is because of the absolute URI. I looked in the http rfc and in
there it says that such a request URI is only allowed when connection
to a proxy.

So according to the rfc apache should respons with an error code.
Maybe something like "Not allowed" or "Not implemented".

Why, however, does it serve the client the following response? What
you see here is the index.html page of the site. So it basically
servers the DocumentIndex.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 08:36:40 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux mod_jk/1.2.6 PHP/4.1.2

Not really, if your apache has mod_proxy enabled, BUT you haven't
configured it in the httpd.conf, most of the time you just receive
your standard home page. Try it for yourself.

Even without mod_proxy loaded there is a way to 200 where 400 was expected.
By example a RewriteRule by mod_rewrite or RewriteMatch by mod_alias on no
(^/?$) file will ignore protocol, server and port, thus performing its
planned redirect on say <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/</a> returning a redirect
message with a funny Wink footer:
'Apache/2.0.51 (Debian GNU/Linux) Server at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.microsoft.com" target="_blank">www.microsoft.com</a> Port 80',
before opening a default page telling Apache has been installed
successfully.

Some distributions of Apache2 have a directive of this kind enabled by
default. As soon as an /index.html is in place mod_dir will step in and
prevent activation of that Rule* .

But mod_proxy is disabled, so it can't be for that reason.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
