Thanks but looks difficult to me after reading the code. mod_include is
quite complicated and writing in filter that I don't familiar.
Is it so simple to fire off a subrequest with current request_rec r like
below:
rr = ap_sub_req_lookup_uri("https://some-server/some-doc.xml";, r, NULL);
if (rr->status == HTTP_OK && ap_run_sub_req(rr) == OK) {
/* ... read response ... */
}
Does this pass automatically to mod_proxy_http to handle the request? How
can I read the response back? Sorry it sounds novice question but I can't
find similar code for reference.
Regards,
