Hi, I want to deal with the following problem: Client A wants to connect to several services (TCP connections) on Server B. B is running Apache as well, both HTTP and HTTPS. Between A and B there is a firewall restricting access to ports 80 and 443. Simply putting the applications on ports 80/443 does not work, they are in use by apache. Port natting is not possible, since A's IP address is not predictable. So what I want to do is to have a handler for a given URL, which handles the request and then passes the socket over to the application (starting it in the way inetd does), maybe plain or SSL-encrypted. A then would call http://B/app/anyappl , receive a positive reply, and after the reply would have a direct connection to that particular application. The question is: How to do it. As far as I can see the request structure does not contain the socket. How could I get access to the socket? Maybe such a solution already exists? regards Hadmut --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
