Apache and mod_proxy
Hi all, sorry to bother on this but my google searches haven't been
useful (probably because I'm not an expert on this).
I wonder whether I Apache + mod_proxy would be ok to handle this
situations:
- some of my users have a legacy application we cannot change that used
to connect to xyz.olddomain.com to download some data.
- xyz.olddomain.com doesn't exists anymore but we know the protocal
used to exchange data
I would like my user to set zork.mydomain.com as a http proxy in their
legacy application and have my proxy redirect all the requests done by
the legacy app towards xyz.olddomain.com to that same mydomain.com
server
My understanding is that I need to use the reverse proxy functionality
but I also need the forward one to let the user set my proxy in their
application.
If the explanation is too long and you have links that can I would
be already happy with them!
Thanks a lot in advance
Zork
