AllowCONNECT


Syntax: AllowCONNECT <port list>
Default: AllowCONNECT 443 563
Context: server config, virtual host
Override: Not applicable
Status: Base
Module: mod_proxy
Compatibility: AllowCONNECT is only available in Apache 1.3.2 and later.

The AllowCONNECT directive specifies a list of port numbers to which the proxy CONNECT method may connect. Today's browsers use this method when a https connection is requested and proxy tunneling over http is in effect.
By default, only the default https port (443) and the default snews port (563) are enabled. Use the AllowCONNECT directive to overrride this default and allow connections to the listed ports only.
