Using Apache (Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu), ProxyPass (mod_proxy), how can I serve content from one host to a folder on another host?

Example:

pears.com/folder
oranges.com/folder

I would like requests made on oranges.com/folder to be served the content that is in pears.com/folder. oranges.com/folder does not exist.

I tried some of the examples from, apache.org/docs.
In orange's virtualhost config:

ProxyHTMLStripComments on  
ProxyRequests off  
SetOutputFilter proxy-html  
ProxyHTMLDoctype XHTML  
SSLProxyEngine on  
SetEnv no-gzip 1  

<Location /folder>
   ProxyPass pears.com/folder  
   ProxyPassReverse pears.com/folder  
   Order allow,deny  
   Allow from all  
</Location>

The error I receive is,

The webpage at https://pears.com/folder/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

Edit - The solution was to disable compression on the pears server

  • Sorry,I should have included that. I tried some of the examples from https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html. From host2's virtualhost config, ProxyPass "/folder" "http://host2.com/folder" I think I just need a more relevant example. – akjones Mar 18 '17 at 15:30
