Hi, Josef Albert Meile schrieb:

Actually, I know this doesn't solve your problem, I saw your last message where you said you need fastcgi. I only want to point Simon out that proxypass can make a server an anonymous proxy, that's what I found here:

http://www.zope.org/Members/asv/Personal%20Docs/HowTo.2004-04-07.3618

use mod_rewrite instead. It does the same job as well and you won't have abusers using your server to browse anonymously.

you know that mod_rewrite uses mod_proxy if you have a [P] at the end of your RewriteRule? From the mod_rewrite docs: ================================================================= 'proxy|P' (force proxy) This flag forces the substitution part to be internally forced as a proxy request and immediately (i.e., rewriting rule processing stops here) put through the proxy module. You have to make sure that the substitution string is a valid URI (e.g., typically starting with http://hostname) which can be handled by the Apache proxy module. If not you get an error from the proxy module. Use this flag to achieve a more powerful implementation of the ProxyPass directive, to map some remote stuff into the namespace of the local server. Notice: To use this functionality make sure you have the proxy module compiled into your Apache server program. If you don't know please check whether mod_proxy.c is part of the ``httpd -l'' output. If yes, this functionality is available to mod_rewrite. If not, then you first have to rebuild the ``httpd'' program with mod_proxy enabled. ================================================================= Also you can limit who can use the proxy (from the mod_proxy docs): ================================================================= Controlling access to your proxy You can control who can access your proxy via the normal <Directory> control block using the following example: <Directory proxy:*> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from yournetwork.example.com </Directory> [...] When using a reverse proxy (using the ProxyPass directive with ProxyRequests Off), access control is less critical because clients can only contact the hosts that you have specifically configured. ================================================================
