[users@httpd] RE: Reverse proxy with response update (once again)

[FRAS Eddy RD-TECH-REN <ed...@francetelecom.com>]

As far as I understand, these modules have very limited features :
"mod_proxy_xml is an output filter to rewrite links in a proxy situation".
Links rewriting is one of the feature I'd like to have but is not enough.

I would like to be able to send the entire response stream to a servlet for treatment (and xslt is only one part of this treatment).

Thanks,

Eddy

OK, now you've told us what you don't want, how about what you _do_
want?  There are a lot of filters available, and the single most powerful
one (mod_publisher) is itself highly extensible by plugging in your
own modules to its parse.  Chain more than one filter if you really
need to - though it should rarely be necessary to chain more than
one filter in a single class (such as "markup transforming filter").

XSLT would be a different filter, and can of course be chained.
But of course, XSLT cannot be streamed, so any XSLT will kill
your performance if you have any larger documents.
