Re: mod_proxy patches for HTTP Header manipulation

[Chuck Murcko]

Guys, I don't think we will get this reviewed and in for 1.3.20 as of 
this moment.

Can we review it for inclusion in mod_proxy++ (the HTTP/1.1 version) 
that we will package separately? Or should we wait and commit to 
-current after 1.3.20 is released?

Hi,
Please forgive me (and point me in the right direction) if
I should be
sending this to a development list, or to someone else,
rather than to
you...
First of all, thank you for your work on mod_proxy. We depend on it
for our production servers at http://allafrica.com.
I've written some code for mod_proxy that adds the ability to set
headers, both for upstream proxy requests and for responses back to
clients. Four new configuration directives are added:
ProxyRequestHeader
ProxyResponseHeader
ProxyResponseExpiresVector
CacheFreshenDate
The first two are a lot like the Header directive from
mod_headers, in
that they allow you to set|unset|add|append to a given header. They
also take an optional regular expression argument, which is matched
against r->uri to control application of the directive.
The last two are special-purpose directives that control the setting
of Expires/Cache-Control and Date headers, respectively. They also
take optional regular expressions to limit their application at
request time.
All four directives are valid in both base and virtual server
configurations, and are merged/applied so that the right thing (tm)
happens.
I have put up patches, both to the sources and to the documentation
html page, at http://allafrica.com/tools/apache/mod_proxy/.
If you believe that this functionality would be generally
useful as a
part of mod_proxy, please let me know what I can do to pave the way
for any integration.
Thank you,
