Apache reverse proxy to docker container

Question

I have a website running on a docker container, and I've created a VirtualHost on the host's apache that is doing a reverse proxy to the container (on host's 8280 port). So I have:

<VirtualHost *:443> ServerName www.example.com DirectoryIndex index.php index.html SetOutputFilter SUBSTITUTE,DEFLATE ProxyPass / http://localname:8280/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localname:8280/ Substitute "s|http://localname:8280/|https://www.example.com/|i" SSLEngine on SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW SSLCertificateKeyFile /path-to/privkey.pem SSLCertificateFile /path-to/cert.pem SSLCertificateChainFile /path-to/chain.pem <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all Allow from localhost </Proxy> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias www.example.com Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com/ </VirtualHost> 

Proxy works well, I have a response when writing www.example.com in the browser, but I have all the links pointing to http://localname:8280 (as shown in the browser console) and a mixed content error, that's why I've put the Substitute directive, but it is not working.

I am using configuration for mod_substitute from apache documentation.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_substitute.html

But this is not working, anything changes. The docker container is based on bitnami/apache image with default configuration.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I have found the answer by myself. You only have to add the following line over Substitute directive:

AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
