Overview

mod_proxy and related modules implement a proxy for Apache HTTP Server, supporting AJP (Apache JServe Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), CONNECT (for SSL, the Secure Sockets Layer), and HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) as well as several different load balancing algorithms. mod_proxy can be used to implement forward proxies and reverse proxies.

For a list of required modules and an explanation on how they work together, see the Concepts section "mod_proxy Modules and How They Work Together".

Subjects

Forward Proxy Support

A forward proxy is activated using the ProxyRequests directive. For more details on forward proxy configuration see:

Forward Proxy Configuration

Reverse Proxy Support

A reverse proxy is activated using the ProxyPass directives or the [P] flag to the RewriteRule directive. For more details on reverse proxy configuration see:
