apache-mod_proxy_express znver1 f82e8858c4d4b664984f214d6f4d73f1ac7e84d4ac2c20b8214eabcd91861aa0 Dynamic mass reverse proxy extension for mod_proxy This module creates dynamically configured mass reverse proxies, by mapping the Host: header of the HTTP request to a server name and backend URL stored in a DBM file. This allows for easy use of a huge number of reverse proxies with no configuration changes. It is much less feature-full than mod_proxy_balancer, which also provides dynamic growth, but is intended to handle much, much larger numbers of backends. It is ideally suited as a front-end HTTP switch. This module requires the service of mod_proxy. Do not enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large. Limitations * This module is not intended to replace the dynamic capability of mod_proxy_balancer. Instead, it is intended to be mostly a lightweight and fast alternative to using mod_rewrite with RewriteMap and the [P] flag for mapped reverse proxying. * It does not support regex or pattern matching at all. * It emulates: ProxyPass / backend.server:port ProxyPassReverse / backend.server:port That is, the entire URL is appended to the mapped backend URL. This is in keeping with the intent of being a simple but fast reverse proxy switch. bero <bero@lindev.ch> https://httpd.apache.org
