Yes. My patch that added ProxyRequestHeader and ProxyResponseHeader to 1.3 was written using pattern matches (regexec, to be precise) because mod_proxy circa 1.3 handles only server-level directives.

If we are talking more generally about mod_headers features that would be nice to have in 2.0, I have been playing around a little with the idea of more powerful conditional header setting. Matching of a mod_rewritish-style -- using variables like %{HTTP_HOST} -- could be interesting.

Is that kind of functionality something you could see as useful in mod_headers? Should I work a little on a prototype implementation?

The code looks great. I will work some tonight on getting 2.0 built and running on a test machine, so I can tell you for sure, in practice.

Thanks again,
