Re: Listen on UDS

2015-04-30 Thread Tim Bannister
I'd been musing, coincidentally, about being able to run httpd as a FastCGI.

The motivation for this is a packaged webapp - Wordpress, say - that includes 
.htaccess files in the deployed package.
Having the genuine Apache httpd able to serve the application and apply 
.htaccess restrictions would be a boon, even if the daemon listening on port 
443 is different.

That's what I thought too, but I didn't want to assume :)

Let me look at what would be involved.

+1. Reverse proxy is the prime example I can think of for it.

I have always wanted it - one thing it allows us to do is reverse proxy to 
versions of httpd (or other daemon software) running as another user, with a 
proper hope of securing it.
