Re: using protocols other than http (Apache Users)

I am looking for a How to so that I can use that and use Apache as a proxy to other protocols.

I believe as you make Apache so you must be having a how to some where my search results did not gave me desired results.

Hence I asked this question.

I am not re hashing any thing I had a doubt since some one told that you do not have a how to it is just a technical reference more over I am not able to understand from the docs which you pointed.So I wanted a working example if I could read and make things work on my server.
