Git Version

Operating System

Ubuntu 20.04

How are you running Gitea?

Downloaded from https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.15.4/gitea-1.15.4-linux-amd64

Database

MySQL

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

Yes

Log Gist

No response

Description

I'm trying to use Apache HTTPd as a reverse proxy, per https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/reverse-proxies/#apache-httpd-with-a-sub-path

Unfortunately, mod proxy html requires a valid content type header, per https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_html.html#proxyhtmlenable

No such header is provided by gitea's main page:

$ curl --head https://try.gitea.io/
HTTP/2 200 
date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 20:25:39 GMT
set-cookie: i_like_gitea=526e7410161b0b16; Path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax

P.S. I believe that the instructions are missing a ProxyHtmlEnable on.

Screenshots

No response

Just tried, it returns a 302

I am not sure whether it is necessary to set content-type for a 302 response. I will check later and please advise.

That's odd; I'm still seeing a 200 response:

Do not use HEAD request.

I think the behavior is correct(at least,not wrong). If you feel something is wrong, please help to explain why it's wrong and what problem it causes.

@rubys commented on GitHub (Oct 15, 2021):

OK.

I have a server. It runs Ubuntu 20.04 with Apache httpd. It serves various content, a few CGIs, and reverse proxy to openvpn, radicale, and a personal node.js application.

I tried adding gitea. The configuration is done in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/gitea.conf:

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

# Note: no trailing slash after either /git or port
ProxyPass /git http://localhost:3000 nocanon
ProxyPassReverse /git http://localhost:3000

What I find it the HTML returned is not adjusted, for example:

$curl -s http://localhost/git | tail -5
        <script src="/assets/js/index.js?v=a493805f36551bca156f633fe0e30c1c"></script>

</body>
</html>

When I run with a browser, I get a 404 when trying to fetch http://localhost/assets/js/index.js. And another 404 trying to fetch http://localhost/assets/css/index.css.

You should use ROOT_URL in app.ini: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/custom/conf/app.example.ini

Do not use ProxyPassReverse. If you see it, then the document should be updated.
