[Zope] mod_proxy static or dynamic?

[Jason Wertz]

The proxy_module is loaded and RewriteEngine is on and working because
I'm currently rewriting other urls that work fine and the L and R
options work as expected.

I'm getting long timeouts though when I add the P to enable proxying =
and=20
nothing useful in the logs.

The apached mod_rewrite page says this about compiling in mod_proxy, I'm
not sure if it was easier to put it this way then explain how to compile
the module seperately.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteRule=20

'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.=20

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.

Did you remember to LoadModule the proxy_module?
Did you remember to toggle RewriteEngine on?

It is not true, what is the URI to the page that claims that?
