Switch 302 redirect to 301 with Apache 2 ProxyPass in front of Tomcat 6
- by Gearóid
I'm trying to optimise my site for SEO and it seems as though their is a 302 direct in action for the http requests.
I'm hosting my app on a Tomcat 6 server which lies behind an Apache 2 server. I use the ProxyPass method (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/proxy-howto.html) to forward all requests to port 8080 (the port my app is hosted on). I've seen a lot of advice on how to set the redirect type when using the VirtualHost method but none to do with ProxyPass.
The app is a Struts app that forwards users on to index.jsp when they hit the base url. Could this also be the issue?
I'm grateful for any help on this one! Cheers!
