mod_proxy_html 2.5.1

mod_proxy_html is an output filter to rewrite HTML links in a proxy situation, to ensure that links work for users outside the proxy. mod_proxy_html serves the same purpose as Apaches ProxyPassReverse directive does for HTTP headers, and is an essential component of a reverse proxy. For example, if a company has an application server at appserver.example.com that is only visible from within the companys internal network, and a public webserver www.example.com, they may wish to provide a gateway to the application server at http://www.example.com/appserver/. When the application server links to itself, those links need to be rewritten to work through the gateway. mod_proxy_html serves to rewrite < a href="http://appserver.example.com/foo/bar.html" >foobar< /a > to < a href="http://www.example.com/appserver/foo/bar.html" >foobar< /a > making it accessible from outside. Capabilities The original capabilities of mod_proxy_html are: - Parses HTML and XHTML markup, rewriting links according to rules defined by the server admin. - Optionally converts HTML to XHTML or vice versa. - Optionally makes some minor corrections to broken HTML. Important changes from 1.x to 2.x include: - Support for rewriting URLs in scripts, stylesheets and scripting events - Support for regular expression match-and-replace - Improved charset detection, including XML BOM, XML declaration, and HTML META where the information is not available in HTTP. - Support for converting meta http-equiv HTML elements to real HTTP headers. - The default FPI (doctype) generated has changed to none, on the grounds that its better to omit it than declare a bogus doctype. You should now configure it explicitly if your backend generates sane HTML or XHTML. - A verbose logging option is provided to help with testing your configuration and diagnosing exactly what it is doing. With these new features, mod_proxy_html might find applications outside a proxy context. But reverse-proxying remains its primary purpose, while mod_publisher offers a far wider range of capabilities for other applications..
