Hi,
I want to use mod_proxy to connect to my own server-application that is running at the same host at another port. I want to do it by using AllowCONNECT. I want to connect to that server-application using port 80, because often companies allow outbound connections only to port 80 (and 443). But this port is already used by the apache server. I prefer to connect to the same host, because I use a Java-Applet to connect to the server-application. Under normal circumstances a Java-Applet may only connect to the originating host (where the applet is downloaded from).
With the ProxyBlock directive it is possible to block all or some specified sites, but I want to use a kind of ProxyAllow so it is only allowed to connect to my server-application by using the 'CONNECT'-request.
I took a look into the apache (module) sources and I think it is not too hard to add the ProxyAllow directive. But I want to ask you if you support the solution and think whether it is useful to add the ProxyAllow-directive? Maybe I can use a different solution to reach my goal?
Thank you, Stefan Kroon
