Hi,

I’ve set up several “Production type” environments using the very  
promising beta book “Deploying Rails Applications”: Mongrel (x2) +  
Apache in Win XP and Mongrel (x2) + Apache + IIS in Win 2K3.

Unfortunately, the proxy plugin used (reverse\_proxy\_fix) to enable  
forwarding requests from IIS to Apache won’t work with my URLs in a  
Flex interface… Has anyone been able to solve this problem? No one  
ever answers on the “Pragmatic Programmers” forum…

Interestingly (I know nothing about how Reverse Proxying works…), when  
I access the URL for a Rails function directly from the browser,  
instead of Flex code, it works correctly, as in:

[http://localhost/mytest/my\_class/my\_function](http://localhost/mytest/my_class/my_function)

where I would have accessed

[http://localhost:8080/my\_class/my\_function](http://localhost:8080/my_class/my_function) with Apache alone…

Cheers,

Chris.
