Yes, that is what I was looking for, but there is a problem in that it is not distributed with either IndigoPerl or any of the other Windows binary distributions (somewhat older) I use. I have three different binary distributions of Apache 2 (one as old as 2.0, and others as recent as 2.2.8), and none have mod_proxy_html or the other the modules the mod_proxy_html documentation mentions. Is there a binary distribution for them, for Windows, that would be compatible with the different distributions at least consistent at the major version level?
