 I don't think there is a reliable way to do that right now.

mod_rewrite and the [P] flag? It will use the default reverse proxy
worker, i.e. you can't have individual pooling and timeout
configurations depending on the backend server.

Hi,

It seems I may need to create HTTPS reverse proxy workers DYNAMICALLY - what
is best way to do this?

In other words, from manual I see config directive:

ProxyPass /example http://backend.example.com connectiontimeout=5
timeout=30

However, I will have several origin servers that aren't necessarily known
during config or startup.  How can I create such workers as needed?

The manual says fixed configuration:

   *The proxy manages the configuration of origin servers and their
communication parameters in objects called workers. There are two built-in
workers, the default forward proxy worker and the default reverse proxy
worker. Additional workers can be configured explicitly.*
*   The two default workers have a fixed configuration and will be used if
no other worker matches the request. *


Thanks for any ideas.
