> I've written some code for mod_proxy that adds the ability to set
> headers, both for upstream proxy requests and for responses back to
> clients. Four new configuration directives are added:
>
> ProxyRequestHeader
> ProxyResponseHeader
> ProxyResponseExpiresVector
> CacheFreshenDate
>
> The first two are a lot like the Header directive from mod_headers, in
> that they allow you to set|unset|add|append to a given header. They
> also take an optional regular expression argument, which is matched
> against r->uri to control application of the directive.
>
> The last two are special-purpose directives that control the setting
> of Expires/Cache-Control and Date headers, respectively. They also
> take optional regular expressions to limit their application at
> request time.
>
> All four directives are valid in both base and virtual server
> configurations, and are merged/applied so that the right thing (tm)
> happens.
>
> I have put up patches, both to the sources and to the documentation
> html page, at http://allafrica.com/tools/apache/mod_proxy/.
>
> If you believe that this functionality would be generally useful as a
> part of mod_proxy, please let me know what I can do to pave the way
> for any integration.
