Hi Everybody,

I have a very simple question. I am using the Apache HTTP Server as a loadbalancer.
I could get it ruuning and it is smartly acting a loadbalancer. In addition to this
I have a requirement, that the response which is send back to the client, I want to
trap that response in the loadbalancer and make some changes and then send it across.
How do I do it? Can somabody give me some pointers as to in which module exacly I should
look in? I thought it should be in mod_proxy or mod_proxy_http are the module I should be
looking at. I could see one function in mod_proxy_http module "ap_proxy_http_process_response"
but the this function is never called when I run it in debugger. I am using VC++ 6.0.
And I am using mod_proxy, mod_rewrite and mod_proxy_http modules.

Please see if anybody can help.

Functions in mod_proxy_http are only called when you use Apache as
ReverseProxy. If you have not setup it as reverse proxy, it does not go into
this module. You should rather look into mod_proxy function proxy_trans()
where it checks if some proxy is there. Or maybe there is some better
location that I do not know.
