I think it's a bit odd for mod_perl to be asking the server to act as a forward proxy for a particular request; I'm not sure that really makes sense. It does make sense for a module to want the server to act as a *reverse* proxy on a per-request basis (an important mod_rewrite feature if nothing else), and it looks like that must be broken too. So I'll verify that and then continue this on [EMAIL PROTECTED] as necessary... but probably mod_perl should be setting ->proxyreq = PROXYREQ_REVERSE anyway in this case. > I guess it warrants discussion over on httpd-dev. > > --Geoff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
