  ! questions are addressed <a href="#config">here</a>.
    
    <h3>Note:</h3>
  ! <p>This module was experimental in Apache 1.1.x. As of Apache 1.2, mod_proxy

  + <a name="access"><h2>Controlling access to your proxy</h2>
  + 
  + You can control who can access your proxy via the normal &lt;Directory&gt;
  + control block using the following example:<p>
  + 
  + <pre>
  + &lt;Directory proxy:*&gt;
  + order allow,deny
  + deny from [machines you'd like not to allow by IP address or name]
  + allow from all
  + &lt;/Directory&gt;
  + </pre><p>
  + 
  + <a name="shortname"><h2>Using Netscape hostname shortcuts</h2>
  + 
  + There is an optional patch to the proxy module to allow Netscape-like
  + hostname shortcuts to be used. It's available
  + <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/contrib/patches/1.2/netscapehost.patch";>
  + here</a>.<p>
  + 
  + <a name="mimetypes"><h2>Why doesn't file type <i>xxx</i> download via 
FTP?</h2>
  + 
  + You probably don't have that particular file type defined as
  + <i>application/octet-stream</i> in your proxy's mime.types configuration
  + file. A useful line can be<p>
  + 
  + <pre>
  + application/octet-stream        bin dms lha lzh exe class tgz taz
    </pre>
