How could we use mod_proxy for outgoing connections from another

Is there any simple way ?
Is there any standard (I mean documented) way, or would it rely on
internals only ? In the latter case, we would have to recode
everything when mod_proxy changes.
You would do something like this:
rr = ap_sub_req_method_uri("OPTIONS", "*", r, NULL); /* this MUST
succeed! */
apr_snprintf(newurl, sizeof(newurl),
"proxy:%s://%s:%d/%s",
protocol, sendToIP, sendToPort, myURL);
ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_DEBUG, 0, r->server,
"query constructed: %s", newurl);
rr->filename = apr_pstrdup(r->pool, newurl);
rr->proxyreq = PROXYREQ_REVERSE;
rr->handler = "proxy-server";
ap_run_sub_req(rr);
and then use the response as needed... The above I've used
in some where I'm just interested in getting some backend
header info...
