Re: ad-supported apache proxy

Hi, I've tried this approach but it doesn't work reliably. I've tried
replacing the start or end body, html and even head tags as I
typically use a script hosted on my adserver to serve the ads. So I
simply replaced the script with your suggestion. This approach does
work for simple sites (and my script), but go to use it for eweek.com,
google.com, or yahoo.com... the ad is nowhere to be seen. Am I missing
something?

Here's my proxy.conf

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>

        <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
                SSLEngine on
                SSLProxyEngine on
        </IfModule>
        ProxyRequests On
        NoProxy .myadserver.com myadserver.com 172.16.1.29
        <Proxy *>
                AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
                Substitute "s|<body?([^>]*?)>|<body$1><div
id=\"my_advert_box\"
style=\"position:absolute;top:0;right:0;z-index:1000\"><a href=\"#\"
click=\"document.getElementById('my_advert_box').style.display='none';\">[X]</a>Advert
content</div>|iq"
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Proxy>
        ProxyVia Off
</IfModule>
