| 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 |
|---|---|
| AJP13 (Apache JServe Protocol version + 1.3) | mod_proxy_ajp |
| CONNECT (for + SSL) | mod_proxy_connect |
| FastCGI | mod_proxy_fcgi |
| ftp | mod_proxy_ftp |
| HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0, and + HTTP/1.1 | mod_proxy_http |
| SCGI | mod_proxy_scgi |
In addition, extended features are provided by other modules.
