There is a patch for Apache to add ProxyAddXHeaders:

[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod\_mbox/httpd-dev/200702.mbox/browser](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200702.mbox/browser)

Setting this option Off causes Apache to refrain from inserting the  
HTTP\_X\_\* headers making the proxying action transparent.  
After applying this, I was stumped for a while when trying to use /admin  
to edit the site. Things appear to work properly except that clicking on  
the page expander (the + to see the child pages) would result in file  
not found /admin/ui/pages/children/…

I finally found this in public/javascripts/sitemap.js where:

```
new Ajax.Updater(
  row,
  '/admin/ui/pages/children/' + id + '/' + level,

```

assumes the script is in the toplevel directory. I couldn’t think of any  
way of fixing this without modifying the file. My fix was to make this  
path relative:

```
new Ajax.Updater(
   row,
   '../admin/ui/pages/children/' + id + '/' + level,

```

I also see document.cookie saves the path=/admin, but I can’t see this  
used anywhere.

Earl,

Could you submit a patch for that to the Trac?

Is there a page describing the pre-requisites and actions for doing  
so?
