| Description: | mod_proxy extension for
CONNECT request handling
|
|---|---|
| Status: | Extension |
| Module Identifier: | proxy_connect_module |
| Source File: | proxy_connect.c |
This module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides support for the CONNECT
HTTP method. This method is mainly used to tunnel SSL requests
through proxy servers.
Thus, in order to get the ability of handling CONNECT
requests, mod_proxy and
mod_proxy_connect have to be present in the server.
Do not enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large.
