Re: [users@httpd] How to configure Apache 2.2.8 to act as reverse
proxy?
Yes, that is what I was looking for, but there is a problem in that it is not
distributed with either IndigoPerl or any of the other Windows binary
distributions (somewhat older) I use. I have three different binary
distributions of Apache 2 (one as old as 2.0, and others as recent as
2.2.8), and none have mod_proxy_html or the other the modules the
mod_proxy_html documentation mentions.
Is there a binary distribution for them, for Windows, that would be
compatible with the different distributions at least consistent at the major
version level?
Thanks

proxy?
Posted by Igor Cicimov <ic...@gmail.com>.
It is third party module you need to download the source and compile and
install it using apxs as external loadable module.
By the way you can do without it since you have mod_proxy already included
in the apache. For reverse proxy you need to switch ProxyRequest to off.
Example
ProxyRequest Off
ProxyPass /app1 http://example.com/app1
ProxyPassReverse /app1 http://example.com/app1
