Mod proxy
In today's world, Mod proxy has taken a fundamental role in people's lives. Its impact has been so significant that there is no area that has not been touched by Mod proxy. Whether in the personal, work, social, scientific or technological sphere, Mod proxy has become a key element that shapes our way of life. Over the years, Mod proxy has aroused the interest and curiosity of individuals from all walks of life, generating endless research, debates and discussions around its meaning, importance and scope. In this article, we will deeply explore the world of Mod proxy, analyzing its influence in different contexts and discovering its relevance in human development.
mod_proxy is an optional module for the Apache HTTP Server.[1]
This module implements a proxy, gateway or cache for Apache. It implements proxying capability for AJP13 (Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3), FTP, CONNECT (for SSL), HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0, and (since Apache 1.3.23) HTTP/1.1. The module can be configured to connect to other proxy modules for these and other protocols.
One powerful feature of Apache is flexible virtual hosting—multiple virtual hosts on a single server. This is a convenient way to partition separate websites and applications. With mod_proxy it is possible to set various web framework-based applications up as virtual hosts as well.[2][3][4]
mod_proxy can help to improve LAMP security [5] or to strip SSL from HTTP requests.[6]
History
This module was experimental in Apache 1.1.x.[7]
As of Apache 1.2, mod_proxy stability was greatly improved.[8]
Since Apache 2.0, proxy features are divided into several modules in addition to mod_proxy: mod_proxy_http, mod_proxy_ftp, and mod_proxy_connect — moreover, caching is provided by mod_cache and related modules.[9]
Since Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_ajp and mod_proxy_balancer have been added as well.[10]
As of Apache 2.4, mod_proxy_fcgi was also added, to proxy FastCGI requests to another server, superseding mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi. [11]
