Calling a module befor the mod_proxy module

[karim Bendadda <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi everybody,

     I'm trying to call a custom module before calling the mod_proxy module
(as a reverse proxy). The problem is that just the mod_proxy works ( it
redirects me to the good server) ...my other module doesn't work when I try
to use the two modules(and it works alone), here the httpd.conf file:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so <----- my module

After I configure the modules like that:

Proxyrequests off
ProxyPass /auth  http://server.test.com:50000/

<Location /auth>
  SetHandler auth
  ProxyPassReverse /
  RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
</Location>


Correct me if I'm wrong, when calling my module as the last one on the
httpd.conf file it will be charged as the first one?? How Can I call my
module and after the mod_proxy module??

Any suggestions??
Thanks.

I understand that Ihave to use hooks... calling the mod_proxy after the
custom module is not sufficient... I'll try to use the hook functions.

Thank you for help

I'm new to all this, but don't you have to specify mod_proxy in the
hook order, when calling ap_hook_handler?

When you choose which hooks your module participates in, you can
explicitly choose which modules you want to precede/succede your
module.

The bottom of mod_proxy.c  shows you what hooks and ordering the proxy uses.
