Forwarding a request from one Apache server (proxy)..

Post by pur.. » Sat, 24 Jul 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

I have two apache web servers. One on UNIX (AIX) and one on NT. I want
all requests of the UNIX web server to be forwarded to the NT server. I
have tried playing with the ProxyPass directives but I can't get it
work. Can someone let me know the directives for each server?

Seems like you're going in the wrong direction but try:

 Redirect permanent * http://nt.server/

for a simple indirect solution or the elegant solution
using mod_rewrite would look like:

 RewriteRule ^/somepath(.*) http://otherhost/otherpath$1 [R]

which result in the page displayed to be:

 http://otherhost/otherpath/pathinfo

This stuff shamelessly copied from the apache documentation.

1. Apache Proxy server that will transform an HTTP request in a HTTPS request

Hello,

I'm looking for a software solution that can receive an HTTP request
and forwarding or proxying it in HTTPS.

For example : An application that makes https request but that can't
make https, will go through an Apache proxy that will encrypt the HTTP
request for the application and forward the request to the secure site
that will reply the same way.

 _____________              __________              ________
|             |            |          |            |        |
| Application | - HTTP --> | Apache   | - HTTPS -->| Secure |
|             |            | Proxy (?)|            | Site   |  
|_____________|            |__________|            |________|

IT's a bit like a SSL accelerator but working on the opposite way.

Is it possible with Apache ? How is it possible ? mod_ssl + mod_proxy
?

Thank you for your help.

Gilles.
