you're cruising for a bruising. 

The only way I can imagine it would possible to achieve this would be by 
creating a reverse proxy.

First of all, even if this is possible using mod_rewrite, you will not be able 
to rewrite the Location headers (ProxyPassReverse) to make redirects work 
correctly. You will also need to rewrite all links in HTML (and even non-HTML) 
contents so that they point to your proxy and use the correct URL path, which 
may work for a number of web sites, but which will certainly fail for others.

If that was not enough, you expose yourself to all kinds of troubles by 
allowing anyone to hide themselves behind your (reverse) proxy.

Objet : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using a proxy manually from a webbrowser?

Hi,

This may sound like a strange question, but I am trying to use mod_proxy in a 
way which I have not yet seen described anywhere.  What I would like to do is 
accept connections on my webserver for certain URLs,
say:  

http://myapache.com/useproxy/website.com/webpage.html

where example myapache.com is my web server and website.com/webpage.html is the 
http URL of some page that I would like the user to be proxied to.  The trick 
that makes my question different from a normal ProxyPass setup is that I would 
like to chain the request through a proxy server, say privoxy.  The end result 
should be that the page returned by th webserver (myapache.com) should actually 
be http://website.com/webpage.html but the request has to go through privoxy! 

The idea is that a user could make use of privoxy running on my website without 
having to configure a proxy in their browser (imagine that they already have to 
use a proxy to get out of their corporate firewall).  Then they could still 
benefit from using privoxy by accessing it with my web server manually.

If there are any other ways of manually making use of a proxy server from a 
browser without using the proxy setting in a browser that would be a welcomed 
alternative to what I am suggesting.

Thanks,

-Martin
