Hello:
I've been looking for a web server that would be capable of forwarding incoming messages to proper handlers and I've come across the rewrite mod for Apache. From what I've read it seems like it would work, but just to confirm, can anyone tell me if it would be able to handle the following examples?
1) Message comes in to http://myserv/dullpage/ it will show a page hosted by Apache HTTP Server.
2) Message comes into http://myserv/searchengine/ it will show Google's webpage (yet still show http://myserv/searchengine/ as the address).
3) Message comes into http://myserv/soaprequest/ it will forward the message to http://soaphandler/
With all of this happening without the end user ever knowing s/he's going outside of http://myserv/.
Also, for example 3, it'd be needed that the response message from http://soaphandler/ comes back through the Apache HTTP Server which then passes it back to the client.
Thanks,
Christopher Long
