ProxyPass


Syntax: ProxyPass <path> <url>
Default: None
Context: server config, virtual host
Override: Not applicable
Status: Base
Module: mod_proxy
Compatibility: ProxyPass is only available in Apache 1.1 and later.

This directive allows remote servers to be mapped into the space of the local server; the local server does not act as a proxy in the conventional sense, but appears to be a mirror of the remote server. <path> is the name of a local virtual path; <url> is a partial URL for the remote server.

Suppose the local server has address http://wibble.org/; then

   ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://foo.com/
will cause a local request for the <http://wibble.org/mirror/foo/bar> to be internally converted into a proxy request to <http://foo.com/bar>.
