Status: | Extension |
Module Identifier: | proxy_module |
Source File: | mod_proxy.c |
This module implements a proxy/gateway for Apache HTTP Server. It implements
- proxying capability for AJP13
(Apache JServe Protocol
- version 1.3), FTP
, CONNECT
(for SSL),
- HTTP/0.9
, HTTP/1.0
, and HTTP/1.1
.
- The module can be configured to connect to other proxy modules for these
- and other protocols.
Apache httpd's proxy features are divided into several modules in
- addition to mod_proxy
:
- mod_proxy_http
, mod_proxy_ftp
,
- mod_proxy_ajp
, mod_proxy_balancer
,
- and mod_proxy_connect
. Thus, if you want to use
- one or more of the particular proxy functions, load
- mod_proxy
and the appropriate module(s)
- into the server (either statically at compile-time or dynamically
- via the LoadModule
- directive).
mod_proxy
and related modules implement a
+ proxy/gateway for Apache HTTP Server, supporting a number of popular
+ protocols as well as several different load balancing algorithms.
+ Third-party modules can add support for additional protocols and
+ load balancing algorithms.
A set of modules must be loaded into the server to provide the
+ necessary features. These modules can be included statically at
+ build time or dynamically via the
+ LoadModule
directive).
+ The set must include:
mod_proxy
, which provides basic proxy
+ capabilitiesmod_proxy_balancer
and one or more
+ balancer modules, if load balancing is required. (See
+ mod_proxy_balancer
for more information.)Protocol | Module |
