Hi, we're (finally) looking to migrate from Netscape to Apache but there are a couple of areas that I'm having problems with that I'm hoping someone can give me some gentle guidance on. We use Netscape Proxy Server 3.5 to manage requests from client applications (rather than client browser) to external 3rd party sites, sometime over https. Netscape Proxy Server has a simple interface for managing URL mappings so that, for instance, URL Prefix (from client) http://foo maps to (proxy will use this) https://prefix.foo.suffix I've been digging around and I think I need to do two things to replicate this behaviour using Apache: (eg from Apache Documentation:) Forward Proxy ProxyRequests On ProxyVia On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from internal.example.com </Proxy> This should allow the client applications to get out through the firewall, but the addresses they use will fail, so ... first thoughts were that ProxyPass would be my friend but it looks like this is for mapping internal paths to fully qualified URI _incoming_ from external clients to the _Reverse_ Proxy? Second thoughts were that I should then use mod_rewrite to trap and handle the outbound requests but I'm at a oss how this would fit within the ProxyRequests directive, or how I would the resolve the responses from the target server. I'm not averse to do doing some legwork but a few pointers to set me down the correct path would be higely appreciated, cheers, Mik --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
