Graham Dumpleton resolved MODPYTHON-141:
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Allow handlers to trigger proxying of requests.
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MODPYTHON-141
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-141
> Project: mod_python
> Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Versions: 3.3
> Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
> Assignee: Graham Dumpleton
> Fix For: 3.3
>
> The req.proxyreq and req.uri attributes are not currently modifiable. If they
> were modifable, it would be possible for a mod_python handler to trigger
> proxying of a request to some remote site. For example:
> import posixpath
> from mod_python import apache
> def fixuphandler(req):
> if req.proxyreq:
> return apache.DECLINED
> normalised_uri = posixpath.normpath(req.uri)
> if normalised_uri:
> if normalised_uri != '/' and req.uri[-1] == '/':
> normalised_uri += '/'
> length = len(req.filename)
> length -= len(req.hlist.directory) - 1
> length += len(req.path_info or '')
> baseurl = normalised_uri[:-length]
> path = normalised_uri[len(baseurl):]
> req.proxyreq = apache.PROXYREQ_REVERSE
> req.uri = 'http://www.dscpl.com.au' + path
> req.filename = 'proxy:%s' % req.uri
> req.handler = 'proxy-server'
> return apache.OK
