From what I can gather from the discussion lists and documentation, there once was a module called nsvhr for AOLS3 which proxied traffic based upon the Host: header. This was primarily used for virtual hosting and was dropped from AOLS4 as AOLS4 has built in virtual hosting capabilities.
 
We have a need to proxy traffic based on the file path. The back end service is another TCP port which will be running an entirely different software package and may be located on another machine. As everything is running under SSL the requst Host: header hostname must match the one in the listenener certificate so nsvhr would not have worked anyway, but perhaps could have been simply modified to work from Path rather than Host.
 
The functionality I am looking for roughly correlates to the Apache "ProxyPass" and "ProxypassReverse" directives.
 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass
 
Is there functionality I am missing in AOLServer 4 to handle this?
 
This could probably be handled in TCL if it is not in the core . Has anyone invented that wheel?
