Bug#440597: libapache2-mod-jk: fix for #425836 breaks "normal" rewriting with tomcat

[Veit Guna]

Package: libapache2-mod-jk
Version: 1:1.2.18-3etch1
Severity: important


Did an apt-get upgrade this evening with the effect that my apache2 rewriting with mod-jk for
tomcat doesn't work out anymore. I'm using this simple rewriting rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(iurltoexcludefromtomcat|urltoexcludefromtomcat2)
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /mytomcatcontext/$1 [PT]

Which rewrites all access to /foo to /mytomcatcontext/foo. This doesn't work out anymore.
Instead of going to the /mytomcatcontext/foo, just /foo in tomcat is requested.

Took me a couple of hours to figure this out since _some_ packages changed regarding
apache2 :(...

Downgrading to 1.2.18-3 fixes the issue for me.
