How to set up a proxy location for all paths except some with apache2?

Question

I've got several webapps running on my webserver:

• SVN Repository Browser, accessible via https://beta.mydomain.tld/svn/repos
• Trac instance, accesible via https://beta.mydomain.tld/trac
• My own java web application, accessible via http://beta.mydomain.tld/, using a Proxy for the local Apache Tomcat on port 8080

Please note that the first two are available via SSL, the third is not (yet). Now I need to make my web app available via https, but I want Trac and SVN Browser still to be accessible in their current location.

I.e. I am trying to configure apache2 to proxy all requests not starting with svn or trac to Tomcat.

For the existing SSL web apps, there's the following configuration

    <Location /svn/repos>
        DAV svn
        SVNParentPath /home/myuser/svn
        SVNListParentPath on
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Subversion repository"
        AuthUserFile /home/myuser/.htpasswd
        Require valid-user
    </Location>

    <Location /trac>
        SetHandler mod_python
        PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
        PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /home/myuser/trac
        PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Trac"
        AuthUserFile /home/myuser/.htpasswd
        Require valid-user
    </Location>

I tried to add the following location, but it did not help anything...

    <Location />
        ProxyPass           http://localhost:8080
        ProxyPassReverse    http://localhost:8080/
    </Location>

For further information, here is the complete apache2 configuration regarding the SSL part (without any of my failed trials in it - I think it is default trac configuration):

    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

Answer 1

Just put ProxyPass ! into those two Location blocks. That stops proxying for the locations concerned.
