Sure, mod_backhand. http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/ It should do exactly what you want... Once it is ported to 2.0 that is :-) It is actively maintained, and though provides a much simpler proxy pass (read: more limited), it does process at least some 1.1 (e.g. chunked encoding). And as reverse proxying goes it _much_much_ smarter than mod_proxy. It has connection pooling and transparent keep alive upgrades on the back-side. It can proxy hundreds of requests from different clients over the same HTTP session to a back-end server. -- Theo Schlossnagle 1024D/A8EBCF8F/13BD 8C08 6BE2 629A 527E 2DC2 72C2 AD05 A8EB CF8F 2047R/33131B65/71 F7 95 64 49 76 5D BA 3D 90 B9 9F BE 27 24 E7
