I am trying to use the GitLab API to access some files and I want to use them via Apache ProxyPass. I want to use the GitLab API via HTTP so I need to add a header named "private-token" for that. A raw call directly to the API would looks like:
https://gitlab.sampleCompany.io/api/v4/projects/983/repository/files/README.md/raw?ref=master
As I want to use a ProxyPass, calls from clients would looks like:
https://mySampleWebsite.com/sample-path/README.md
Those calls must be translated to the previously shown request, appending the last part of the url "/raw?ref=master" where "ref" specifies the branch in GitLab
So far this is my Apache configuration and I am not really sure that I can append this new querystring parameter and the "/raw" to the proxypassed request. Note that this parameters are added in Apache and not comming from the client request.
