The standard FC8 apache doesn't come with mod_proxy_html... whither might I find it?

Or do I have to build from source?

Philip,

I suggest building it from source. It's pretty simple and you're guaranteed to get a module that is compatible with your installation of Apache.

My application required building 'mod_proxy_html' and 'mod_headers'. You'll find my build and configuration notes below. Be warned that my installation was on a CentOS 5 server, so you may need to make some small adjustments.

Once everything is built and configured, you'll have the 'mod_proxy_html' directives (ProxyHTMLURLMap, ProxyHTMLExtended, etc.) and 'mod_headers' directives (Header, RequestHeader) available to you in your Apache configuration. Note that it's important to use the

 SetOutputFilter proxy-html

directive, so that your HTML rewrites actually occur.

 * Build and Install the Apache Modules
   * mod_proxy_html
     * Install the prerequisite packages

         * Updated: libxml2.i386 0:2.6.26-2.1.2.1
       # yum -y install libxml2-devel
         * Updated: libxml2-devel.i386 0:2.6.26-2.1.2.1

   * mod_headers
