It's not "an essential component of a reverse proxy"; it's what you use in desperation if you really need your proxy to present a different path than the backend, or the backend generates content with absolute links to its own server address (naughty!). And you still may have problems if the content generated is sufficiently sophisticated (e.g.: JavaScript which creates self-ref links dynamically) that mod_proxy_html can't address it. Truly a last resort - much better if you can just do: ProxyPass /foo http://backend/foo ProxyPassReverse /foo http://backend/foo --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
