I am not sure I understood all of that, but...
When it comes to the yahoomail stuff, the reason you get redirected to www.yahoomail.com is that you are missing the ProxyPassReverse directive.
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.yahoomail.com/
However, I am not quite sure that what you actually want is a REVERSE proxy. You may just want a plain old proxy.
In that case you need something like:
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy *>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Proxy>
In addition to this, you need to configure your browser to point to the proxy.
-ascs

Hi Axel,
Thanks for your response.
As you suggest I configured .
ProxyPass / http://www.yahoomail.com/
Yes It works fine. when i type http://hostname:8080/ then it redirect to www.yahoomail.com.
=== ==========
I want to build my apache as gateway server. the end user can assess the external domain like
www.test.com , www.yahoo.com <http://www.yahoo.com/> <http://www.orkut.com/> , www.apache.com through my apache gateway server.
Browser <====> My gateway server ::8080 <==> external domain
1. I established the connection to my gateway server http://gatewayserver:8080 <https://localhost:8080/>
Here my question is which is the best way to redirect the request to the external domain through my apache server? and how?
I am not sure is it possible way to transfer the request
a. the requested external domain url as pass as the url string string like http://localhost:8080/www.test.com <https://localhost:8080/www.yahoo.com >
I configured
ProxyPass / http://
It works.
Problem::
The targeted url www.test.com refer the background image with respect to relative url like this
background="" So that i can't able to retriew it by http://localhost:8080/www.test.com <https://localhost:8080/www.yahoo.com> .
If I access the url directly www.test.com. The backgroung image retriewed and it shows fine.
Please help me to resolve the problem....and Please suggest if u have any sample for gateway server.
Regards,
skumar
