No, this has nothing to do with WAFileLibrary. This is Magritte- 
Seaside and how it serves large binary files (like files you uploaded  
trough Pier).

I can't help you with ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse, I never used that.

I don't use FileLibrary since I use Apache. Of course it is possible  
to use both, but I don't see the point. For my Web site I also  
created and added a file-library, but I only use it to conveniently  
add the static style-sheets to the HTML head:

The out-of-the box image (the one you get when installing Pier from  
SqueakMap) just works. If you start to change settings and/or use  
Apache then the complexity is in your own hands.

My Apache configuration looks like this:

   <VirtualHost *:80>

     ServerName www.lukas-renggli.ch

     DocumentRoot /home/apache/www.lukas-renggli.ch
     <Directory /home/apache/www.lukas-renggli.ch>
       Order deny,allow
       Allow from all
     </Directory>

     ProxyPreserveHost On

     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteCond /home/apache/www.lukas-renggli.ch/% 
{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
     RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:9002/seaside/pier/$1  
[proxy,last]

   </VirtualHost>

The rewrite rules basically says: If there is no static file on the  
filesystem home/apache/www.lukas-renggli.ch matching the request the  
pass it on to the Pier image running on port 9002.

Cheers,
Lukas
