Hi All,
can anyone tell me the use of mod_proxy module in Apache Web Server.
It is used to define rules for forwarding or reverse forwarding certain
requests,
for example, if we want another server to handle all http requests
having xyz.com/foo as extention, we have to do it in mod_proxy module.
Similarly, if u want https or ftp request to be forwarded to another
server ,u have to define it here,
this is done so that , for the user, he will use the same web address,
but the actual location of file may be on differnt servers, and this is
made transparent to users.
