#9102: Inverse proxy breaks permalinks
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------

Severity: normal | Keywords: inverse, proxy, permalinks
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
I have a WP installation at my university's webspace (on an apache
server), say http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/wordpress/ , and an inverse proxy
domain http://mydomain.at/ for it.
This means that any request to the latter, eg for
http://mydomain.at/2009/02/12/inverse-proxy-trouble/ , is forwarded to
http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/wordpress/ , which in turn means that the
REQUEST_URI there becomes /mydir/wordpress/2009/02/inverse-proxy-trouble/
. My ''home'' variable is of course set to http://mydomain.at/
(''siteurl'' is set to http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/wordpress/ -- otherwise I
wouldn't be able to login to WP).
Unfortunately, when analyzing REQUEST_URI, wordpress chops off the
''home'' path, not the ''siteurl'' one. This may be okay for some
purposes, but in the inverse proxy case, permalinks break. For a fix, I
had to hack two wordpress core files, namely
wp-includes/classes.php
in function parse_request: change line 162 from
{{{
$home_path = parse_url(get_option('home'));
}}}
to
{{{
$home_path = parse_url(get_option('siteurl'));
}}}
and wp-includes/rewrite.php, in function get_pagenum_link, line 987, same
modification.
This is a dirty hack, of course; so I wonder if in general, using the
''siteurl'' path is valid in any case where the ''home'' host differs from
the ''siteurl'' host. If so, I suggest changing the affected files in such
a manner.
