WebThing Ltd is pleased to announce Version 3.0 of mod_proxy_html.
This is the first major update in three years to WebThing's
most popular module for Apache httpd 2.x.
mod_proxy_html is a filter module to rewrite the links in an
HTML page on-the-fly. It is an essential component of a
reverse proxy, where pages coming from the backend server may
contain links that are valid only within a private network,
and would be unresolvable to users of the proxy.
mod_proxy_html was first published in 2003. In July 2004,
Version 2 added support for links in scripts and stylesheets,
basic internationalisation, regular expressions, <META>
parsing, and verbose logging for debugging/diagnostic help.
A development version of a major update destined to be
Version 3 was first published in December 2006. Initially
this had problems, but since the most recent fixes made
in June 2007, reports have indicated it working well.
Today it has been packaged and released as Version 3.0.0
at http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/
The principal changes in Version 3 include:
* Much improved internationalisation/charset support.
* Configurable to support proprietary HTML variants
(defaulting to standard HTML).
* Flexible configuration with environment variable
interpolation and conditional rules.
* Improved robustness against malformed HTML, and
partial validation and correction.
All new features are documented, but some new topic-guides
still need to be written to expand and ultimately replace
the Technical Guide.
As ever, feedback, bug reports and feature requests are encouraged.
