Argh! I’m desperately trying to get a lighttpd running to serve as a proxy in front of an Apache webserver. I just gave up, right now there’s no chance, cause the lighttpd does Proxy-Requests using HTTP/1.0 and not 1.1. On top of that i noted it has a strange behaviour as I began digging deep in the magic IP-box.
I tried to manage to establish different proxy connections on different local IPs (range 127.0.0.x) but lighttpd keeps on connectiing on 127.0.0.1 .. always! I tried to bind different virtual hosts to different ports but realized, that it’s not worth the effort.
Virtual hosting is simply not possible behind an 1.0 proxy, so I’ll set up the whole website on pure lighttpd as soon as the new database-server arrives.
