<H2>Summary</H2>
|
|
|
|
This module implements a proxy/cache for Apache. It implements
|
|
proxying capability for
|
|
<CODE>FTP</CODE>,
|
|
<CODE>CONNECT</CODE> (for SSL),
|
|
<CODE>HTTP/0.9</CODE>, and
|
|
<CODE>HTTP/1.0</CODE>.
|
|
The module can be configured to connect to other proxy modules for these
|
|
and other protocols.
|
|
|
|
<P>This module was experimental in Apache 1.1.x. As of Apache 1.2, mod_proxy
|
|
stability is <EM>greatly</EM> improved.<P>

|
|
|
|
You can control who can access your proxy via the normal <Directory>
|
|
control block using the following example:<P>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
<Directory proxy:*>
|
|
Order Deny,Allow
|
|
Deny from [machines you'd like *not* to allow by IP address or name]
|
|
Allow from [machines you'd like to allow by IP address or name]
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
</PRE><P>
|
|
|
|
A <Files> block will also work, and is the only method known to work
|
|
for all possible URLs in Apache versions earlier than 1.2b10.<P>
|
|
|
|
<H2><A NAME="shortname">Using Netscape hostname shortcuts</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
There is an optional patch to the proxy module to allow Netscape-like
|
|
hostname shortcuts to be used. It's available from the
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.apache.org/dist/contrib/patches/1.2/netscapehost.patch"
|
|
><SAMP>contrib/patches/1.2</SAMP></A> directory on the Apache Web site.<P>
|
|
|
|
<H2><A NAME="mimetypes">Why doesn't file type <EM>xxx</EM> download via FTP?</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
You probably don't have that particular file type defined as
|
|
<EM>application/octet-stream</EM> in your proxy's mime.types configuration
|
|
file. A useful line can be<P>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
application/octet-stream bin dms lha lzh exe class tgz taz
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<H2><A NAME="type">How can I force an FTP ASCII download of File <EM>xxx</EM>?</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
In the rare situation where you must download a specific file using the FTP
|
|
<STRONG>ASCII</STRONG> transfer method (while the default transfer is in
|
|
<STRONG>binary</STRONG> mode), you can override mod_proxy's default by
|
|
suffixing the request with <SAMP>;type=a</SAMP> to force an ASCII transfer.<P>
|
|
|
|
<H2><A NAME="startup">Why does Apache start more slowly when using the
|
|
proxy module?</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
If you're using the <CODE>ProxyBlock</CODE> or <CODE>NoCache</CODE>
|
|
directives, hostnames' IP addresses are looked up and cached during
|
|
startup for later match test. This may take a few seconds (or more)
|
|
depending on the speed with which the hostname lookups occur.<P>
|
|
|
|
<H2><A NAME="socks">Can I use the Apache proxy module with my SOCKS proxy?</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
Yes. Just build Apache with the rule <CODE>SOCKS4=yes</CODE> in your
|
|
<EM>Configuration</EM> file, and follow the instructions there. SOCKS5
|
|
capability can be added in a similar way (there's no <CODE>SOCKS5</CODE>
|
|
rule yet), so use the <CODE>EXTRA_LDFLAGS</CODE> definition, or build Apache
|
|
normally and run it with the <EM>runsocks</EM> wrapper provided with SOCKS5,
|
|
if your OS supports dynamically linked libraries.<P>
|
|
|
|
Some users have reported problems when using SOCKS version 4.2 on Solaris.
|
|
The problem was solved by upgrading to SOCKS 4.3.<P>
|
|
|
|
Remember that you'll also have to grant access to your Apache proxy machine by
|
|
permitting connections on the appropriate ports in your SOCKS daemon's
|
|
configuration.<P>
|
|
|
|
<H2><A NAME="intranet">What other functions are useful for an intranet proxy server?</A></H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>An Apache proxy server situated in an intranet needs to forward external
|
|
requests through the company's firewall. However, when it has to access
|
|
resources within the intranet, it can bypass the firewall when accessing
|
|
hosts. The <A HREF="#noproxy">NoProxy</A> directive is useful for specifying
|
|
which hosts belong to the intranet and should be accessed directly.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Users within an intranet tend to omit the local domain name from their
|
|
WWW requests, thus requesting "http://somehost/" instead of
|
|
"http://somehost.my.dom.ain/". Some commercial proxy servers let them get
|
|
away with this and simply serve the request, implying a configured
|
|
local domain. When the <A HREF="#proxydomain">ProxyDomain</A> directive
|
|
is used and the server is <A HREF="#proxyrequests">configured for
|
|
proxy service</A>, Apache can return a redirect response and send the client
|
|
to the correct, fully qualified, server address. This is the preferred method
|
|
since the user's bookmark files will then contain fully qualified hosts.</P>

This defines remote proxies to this proxy. <em>match</em> is either the
|
|
name of a URL-scheme that the remote server supports, or a partial URL
|
|
for which the remote server should be used, or '*' to indicate the
|
|
server should be contacted for all requests. <em>remote-server</em> is a
|
|
partial URL for the remote server. Syntax:
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
remote-server = protocol://hostname[:port]
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<em>protocol</em> is the protocol that should be used to communicate
|
|
with the remote server; only "http" is supported by this module.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Example:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
ProxyRemote http://goodguys.com/ http://mirrorguys.com:8000
|
|
ProxyRemote * http://cleversite.com
|
|
ProxyRemote ftp http://ftpproxy.mydomain.com:8080
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
In the last example, the proxy will forward FTP requests, encapsulated
|
|
as yet another HTTP proxy request, to another proxy which can handle
|
|
them.

This directive allows remote servers to be mapped into the space of the local

a local virtual path; <em>url</em> is a partial URL for the remote server.

This directive lets Apache adjust the URL in the <TT>Location</TT> header on
|
|
HTTP redirect responses. For instance this is essential when Apache is used as

a reverse proxy to avoid by-passing the reverse proxy because of HTTP

redirects on the backend servers which stay behind the reverse proxy.

ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://foo.com/

converted into a proxy request to <<SAMP>http://foo.com/bar</SAMP>> (the
|
|
functionality <SAMP>ProxyPass</SAMP> provides here). It also takes care of
|
|
redirects the server foo.com sends: when <SAMP>http://foo.com/bar</SAMP> is
|
|
redirected by him to <SAMP>http://foo.com/quux</SAMP> Apache adjusts this to
|
|
<SAMP>http://wibble.org/mirror/foo/quux</SAMP> before forwarding the HTTP
|
|
redirect response to the client.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that this <SAMP>ProxyPassReverse</SAMP> directive can also be used in

|
|
|
|
This directive is only useful for Apache proxy servers within intranets.
|
|
The NoProxy directive specifies a list of subnets, IP addresses, hosts
|
|
and/or domains, separated by spaces. A request to a host which matches
|
|
one or more of these is always served directly, without forwarding to
|
|
the configured ProxyRemote proxy server(s).
|
|
<P>
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
ProxyRemote * http://firewall.mycompany.com:81
|
|
NoProxy .mycompany.com 192.168.112.0/21
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
The arguments to the NoProxy directive are one of the following type list:
|
|
<DL>
|
|
<!-- ===================== Domain ======================= -->
|
|
<A NAME="domain">
|
|
<DT><EM>Domain</EM></A>
|
|
<DD>A <EM>Domain</EM> is a partially qualified DNS domain name, preceded
|
|
by a period.
|
|
It represents a list of hosts which logically belong to the same DNS
|
|
domain or zone (<EM>i.e.</EM>, the suffixes of the hostnames are all ending in
|
|
<EM>Domain</EM>).<BR>
|
|
Examples: <SAMP>.com</SAMP> <SAMP>.apache.org.</SAMP><BR>
|
|
To distinguish <EM>Domain</EM>s from <A HREF="#hostname"><EM>Hostname</EM></A>s (both
|
|
syntactically and semantically; a DNS domain can have a DNS A record,
|
|
too!), <EM>Domain</EM>s are always written
|
|
with a leading period.<BR>
|
|
Note: Domain name comparisons are done without regard to the case,
|
|
and <EM>Domain</EM>s are always assumed to be anchored in the root
|
|
of the DNS tree, therefore two domains <SAMP>.MyDomain.com</SAMP> and
|
|
<SAMP>.mydomain.com.</SAMP> (note the trailing period) are
|
|
considered equal. Since a domain comparison does not involve a DNS
|
|
lookup, it is much more efficient than subnet comparison.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ===================== SubNet ======================= -->
|
|
<A NAME="subnet">
|
|
<DT><EM>SubNet</EM></A>
|
|
<DD>A <EM>SubNet</EM> is a partially qualified internet address in
|
|
numeric (dotted quad) form, optionally followed by a slash and the
|
|
netmask, specified as the number of significant bits in the
|
|
<EM>SubNet</EM>. It is used to represent a subnet of hosts which can
|
|
be reached over a common network interface. In the absence of the
|
|
explicit net mask it is assumed that omitted (or zero valued)
|
|
trailing digits specify the mask. (In this case, the netmask can
|
|
only be multiples of 8 bits wide.)<BR>
|
|
Examples:
|
|
<DL>
|
|
<DT><SAMP>192.168</SAMP> or <SAMP>192.168.0.0</SAMP>
|
|
<DD>the subnet 192.168.0.0 with an implied netmask of 16 valid bits
|
|
(sometimes used in the netmask form <SAMP>255.255.0.0</SAMP>)
|
|
<DT><SAMP>192.168.112.0/21</SAMP>
|
|
<DD>the subnet <SAMP>192.168.112.0/21</SAMP> with a netmask of 21
|
|
valid bits (also used in the form 255.255.248.0)
|
|
</DL>
|
|
As a degenerate case, a <EM>SubNet</EM> with 32 valid bits is the
|
|
equivalent to an <EM>IPAddr</EM>, while a <EM>SubNet</EM> with zero
|
|
valid bits (<EM>e.g.</EM>, 0.0.0.0/0) is the same as the constant
|
|
<EM>_Default_</EM>, matching any IP address.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ===================== IPAddr ======================= -->
|
|
<A NAME="ipaddr">
|
|
<DT><EM>IPAddr</EM></A>
|
|
<DD>A <EM>IPAddr</EM> represents a fully qualified internet address in
|
|
numeric (dotted quad) form. Usually, this address represents a
|
|
host, but there need not necessarily be a DNS domain name
|
|
connected with the address.<BR>
|
|
Example: 192.168.123.7<BR>
|
|
Note: An <EM>IPAddr</EM> does not need to be resolved by the DNS
|
|
system, so it can result in more effective apache performance.
|
|
<P><STRONG>See Also:</STRONG>
|
|
<A HREF="../dns-caveats.html">DNS Issues</A></P>
|
|
|
|
<!-- ===================== Hostname ======================= -->
|
|
<A NAME="hostname">
|
|
<DT><EM>Hostname</EM></A>
|
|
<DD>A <EM>Hostname</EM> is a fully qualified DNS domain name which can
|
|
be resolved to one or more <A
|
|
HREF="#ipaddr"><EM>IPAddrs</EM></A> via the DNS domain name service.
|
|
It represents a logical host (in contrast to
|
|
<A HREF="#domain"><EM>Domain</EM></A>s, see
|
|
above) and must be resolvable to at least one <A
|
|
HREF="#ipaddr"><EM>IPAddr</EM></A> (or often to a list of hosts
|
|
with different <A HREF="#ipaddr"><EM>IPAddr</EM></A>'s).<BR>
|
|
Examples: <SAMP>prep.ai.mit.edu</SAMP>
|
|
<SAMP>www.apache.org.</SAMP><BR>
|
|
Note: In many situations, it is more effective to specify an
|
|
<A HREF="#ipaddr"><EM>IPAddr</EM></A> in place of a
|
|
<EM>Hostname</EM> since a DNS lookup
|
|
can be avoided. Name resolution in Apache can take a remarkable deal
|
|
of time when the connection to the name server uses a slow PPP
|
|
link.<BR>
|
|
Note: <EM>Hostname</EM> comparisons are done without regard to the case,
|
|
and <EM>Hostname</EM>s are always assumed to be anchored in the root
|
|
of the DNS tree, therefore two hosts <SAMP>WWW.MyDomain.com</SAMP>
|
|
and <SAMP>www.mydomain.com.</SAMP> (note the trailing period) are
|
|
considered equal.<BR>

If the origin HTTP server did not supply an expiry date for the

document, then estimate one using the formula
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
expiry-period = time-since-last-modification * <em>factor</em>

</PRE>
|

For example, if the document was last modified 10 hours ago, and

<em>factor</em> is 0.1, then the expiry period will be set to 10*0.1 = 1 hour.
|
|
|
|
<P>If the expiry-period would be longer than that set by CacheMaxExpire,

then the latter takes precedence.

The NoCache directive specifies a list of words, hosts and/or domains, separated

by spaces. HTTP and non-passworded FTP documents from matched words, hosts or
|
|
domains are <EM>not</EM> cached by the proxy server. The proxy module will
|
|
also attempt to determine IP addresses of list items which may be hostnames
|
|
during startup, and cache them for match test as well. Example:
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
NoCache joes-garage.com some-host.co.uk bullwinkle.wotsamattau.edu
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
'bullwinkle.wotsamattau.edu' would also be matched if referenced by IP
|
|
address.<P>
|
|
|
|
Note that 'wotsamattau' would also be sufficient to match 'wotsamattau.edu'.<P>
|
|
|
|
Note also that
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
NoCache *
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
disables caching completely.<P>
