I use Apache 2.2.16 as Reverse Proxy. For a static website, I don't have any issues. However, when began to use cookies, I've noticed that cookies are not being sent to the client.
Here's a snippet of my config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app.somewhere.com:80
ServerAlias app
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /app http://10.x.x.x/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://10.x.x.x/app
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
But when I try to access the app server directly, I receive the cookies ok.
Is this an expected behaviour for Apache2? I'm using HAProxy for another application that sends cookies to the client and I get all of them.
