Re: [PATCH] Reverse Proxy HTTP Hooks

Hooks again are very proxy specific - I am trying really hard to get away from proxy specific stuff. They spelled doom for the 1.3 proxy, and things have vastly improved since things became more modular and more simple.

In theory the existing Set(In|Out)putFilter directives should allow you to do exactly what you need to do without any modification to the existing proxy code at all. Write an input filter to handle the stuff before the connection, and the output filter will handle stuff you need after the connection. Make sure that whatever filter you use is triggered only on certain URLs, this way you can ensure the filter only runs when used as a subrequest from mod_include, and not otherwise.

Of course example code to start with is a huge help, and from my experience with mod_headers there doesn't seem to be any at the moment. Once I have finished with mod_headers though check there, as it is a rather simple example of an input filter and an output filter (as soon as I can get the &^%%#^% input filter to work).

Graham
