hg serve behind lighttpd/mod_proxy

[Luc Heinrich]

Grettings,

About a year ago, someone trying to use lighttpd's mod_proxy to  
forward requests to an hg server made a bug report [1] about some  
invalid HTTP content which apparently got fixed. I'm currently trying  
to do the same (proxying requests to hg through lighttpd) and I still  
can't get it to work.

My lighttpd is listening on port 9000, the hg server is listening on  
port 9001 and only the "dynamic requests" are correctly sent through,  
static files (css files mostly) get stuck somewhere in the middle,  
for some reason. In other words, requests like "GET / HTTP/1.0" are  
correctly served, requests like "GET /static/style-gitweb.css HTTP/ 
1.0" aren't.

I'm not sure where the problem is. Mercurial ? My lighttpd config ?  
Lighttpd itself ? Has anybody managed to get this kind of  
configuration to work ?

Thanks for any help.
