question on CGI module's url with mod

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi, i have apache mod_rewrite rules like this:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/$             /app R,L
    <Location /app>
        ProxyPass  http://example.com:8888/app
        ProxyPassReverse  http://example.com:8888/app
        ...
    </Location>

i am trying to get the absolute url such as /app/xyz/123 when requesting http://www.example.com/app/xyz/123 but using CGI's url() method $q->url(rewrite => 1, absolute => 1); gives me http://www.example.com:8888/app/xyz/123 instead. setting rewrite to false generate '/app' only. anyone knows the correct to do this? thanks!

Quick example from the commandline... `# perl -le 'use URI; my $url = URI->new("http://www.example.com/app/ +xyz/123"); print $url->path;' /app/xyz/123` [download] -- naChoZ Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble wrap is cheap. You choose.	[reply] [d/l]
