    <div class="warning">The <code class="directive"><a href="#proxyrequests">ProxyRequests</a></code> directive should
    usually be set <strong>off</strong> when using
    <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code>.</div>

    <p>In 2.4.7 and later, support for using a Unix Domain Socket is available by using a target
    which prepends <code>unix:/path/lis.sock|</code>. For example, to proxy
    HTTP and target the UDS at /home/www/socket, you would use
    <code>unix:/home/www.socket|http://localhost/whatever/</code>.</p>

    <div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The path associated with the <code>unix:</code>
    URL is <code class="directive">DefaultRuntimeDir</code> aware.</div>

    <p>When used inside a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code> section, the first argument is omitted and the local
    directory is obtained from the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code>. The same will occur inside a
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#locationmatch">&lt;LocationMatch&gt;</a></code> section;
    however, ProxyPass does not interpret the regexp as such, so it is necessary
    to use <code class="directive">ProxyPassMatch</code> in this situation instead.</p>

    <p>Suppose the local server has address <code>http://example.com/</code>;
    then</p>

    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/mirror/foo/"&gt;
    ProxyPass "http://backend.example.com/"
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>


    <p>will cause a local request for
    <code>http://example.com/mirror/foo/bar</code> to be internally converted
    into a proxy request to <code>http://backend.example.com/bar</code>.</p>

    <p>If you require a more flexible reverse-proxy configuration, see the
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> directive with the
    <code>[P]</code> flag.</p>

    <p>The following alternative syntax is possible; however, it can carry a
    performance penalty when present in very large numbers. The advantage of
    the below syntax is that it allows for dynamic control via the
    <a href="mod_proxy_balancer.html#balancer_manager">Balancer Manager</a> interface:</p>

    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass "/mirror/foo/" "http://backend.example.com/"</pre>


    <div class="warning">
    <p>If the first argument ends with a trailing <strong>/</strong>, the second
       argument should also end with a trailing <strong>/</strong>, and vice
       versa. Otherwise, the resulting requests to the backend may miss some
       needed slashes and do not deliver the expected results.
    </p>
    </div>

    <p>The <code>!</code> directive is useful in situations where you don't want
    to reverse-proxy a subdirectory, <em>e.g.</em></p>

    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/mirror/foo/"&gt;
    ProxyPass "http://backend.example.com/"
&lt;/Location&gt;
&lt;Location "/mirror/foo/i"&gt;
    ProxyPass "!"
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>


    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass "/mirror/foo/i" "!"
ProxyPass "/mirror/foo" "http://backend.example.com"</pre>


    <p>will proxy all requests to <code>/mirror/foo</code> to
    <code>backend.example.com</code> <em>except</em> requests made to
    <code>/mirror/foo/i</code>.</p>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Ordering ProxyPass Directives</h3>
      <p>The configured <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>
      and <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypassmatch">ProxyPassMatch</a></code>
      rules are checked in the order of configuration. The first rule that
      matches wins. So usually you should sort conflicting
      <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> rules starting with the
      longest URLs first. Otherwise, later rules for longer URLS will be hidden
      by any earlier rule which uses a leading substring of the URL. Note that
      there is some relation with worker sharing. In contrast, only one
      <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> directive can be placed
      in a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">Location</a></code> block, and the most
      specific location will take precedence.</p>

      <p>For the same reasons, exclusions must come <em>before</em> the
      general <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code> directives. In 2.4.26 and later, the "no-proxy"
      environment variable is an alternative to exclusions, and is the only
      way to configure an exclusion of a <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code>
      directive in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">Location</a></code> context. 
      This variable should be set with <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code>, as <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code>
      is not evaluated early enough.
      </p>

    </div> 

    <p><strong>ProxyPass <code>key=value</code> Parameters</strong></p>

    <p>In Apache HTTP Server 2.1 and later, mod_proxy supports pooled
    connections to a backend server.  Connections created on demand
    can be retained in a pool for future use.  Limits on the pool size
    and other settings can be coded on
    the <code class="directive">ProxyPass</code> directive
    using  <code>key=value</code> parameters, described in the tables
    below.</p>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Maximum connections to the backend</h3>
    <p>By default, mod_proxy will allow and retain the maximum number of
    connections that could be used simultaneously by that web server child
    process.  Use the <code>max</code> parameter to reduce the number from
    the default. The pool of connections is maintained per web server child
    process, and <code>max</code> and other settings are not coordinated
    among all child processes, except when only one child process is allowed
    by configuration or MPM design.</p>
    </div>

    <p>Use the <code>ttl</code> parameter to set an optional
    time to live; connections which have been unused for at least
    <code>ttl</code> seconds will be closed.  <code>ttl</code> can be used
    to avoid using a connection which is subject to closing because of the
    backend server's keep-alive timeout.</p>

    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass "/example" "http://backend.example.com" max=20 ttl=120 retry=300</pre>

    <p><strong>Additional ProxyPass Keywords</strong></p>

    <p>Normally, mod_proxy will canonicalise ProxyPassed URLs.
    But this may be incompatible with some backends, particularly those
    that make use of <var>PATH_INFO</var>.  The optional <var>nocanon</var>
    keyword suppresses this and passes the URL path "raw" to the
    backend.  Note that this keyword may affect the security of your backend, 
	as it removes the normal limited protection against URL-based attacks
    provided by the proxy.</p>

    <p>Normally, mod_proxy will include the query string when
    generating the <var>SCRIPT_FILENAME</var> environment variable.
    The optional <var>noquery</var> keyword (available in
    httpd 2.4.1 and later) prevents this.</p>

    <p>The optional <var>interpolate</var> keyword, in combination with
    <code class="directive">ProxyPassInterpolateEnv</code>, causes the ProxyPass
    to interpolate environment variables, using the syntax
    <var>${VARNAME}</var>.  Note that many of the standard CGI-derived
    environment variables will not exist when this interpolation happens,
    so you may still have to resort to <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>

    <p>This directive is equivalent to <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>

    <p>This directive lets Apache httpd adjust the URL in the <code>Location</code>,
    <code>Content-Location</code> and <code>URI</code> headers on HTTP
    redirect responses. This is essential when Apache httpd is used as a
    reverse proxy (or gateway) to avoid bypassing the reverse proxy
    because of HTTP redirects on the backend servers which stay behind
    the reverse proxy.</p>

    <p>Only the HTTP response headers specifically mentioned above
    will be rewritten. Apache httpd will not rewrite other response
    headers, nor will it by default rewrite URL references inside HTML pages.
    This means that if the proxied content contains absolute URL
    references, they will bypass the proxy. To rewrite HTML content to
    match the proxy, you must load and enable <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_html.html">mod_proxy_html</a></code>.
    </p>

    <p><var>path</var> is the name of a local virtual path; <var>url</var> is a
    partial URL for the remote server. 
    These parameters are used the same way as for the
    <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> directive.</p>

    <p>For example, suppose the local server has address
    <code>http://example.com/</code>; then</p>

    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass         "/mirror/foo/" "http://backend.example.com/"
ProxyPassReverse  "/mirror/foo/" "http://backend.example.com/"
ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain  "backend.example.com"  "public.example.com"
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath  "/"  "/mirror/foo/"</pre>


    <p>will not only cause a local request for the
    <code>http://example.com/mirror/foo/bar</code> to be internally converted
    into a proxy request to <code>http://backend.example.com/bar</code>
    (the functionality which <code>ProxyPass</code> provides here). 
    It also takes care of redirects which the server <code>backend.example.com</code>
    sends when redirecting <code>http://backend.example.com/bar</code> to
    <code>http://backend.example.com/quux</code> . Apache httpd adjusts this to
    <code>http://example.com/mirror/foo/quux</code> before forwarding the HTTP
    redirect response to the client. Note that the hostname used for
    constructing the URL is chosen in respect to the setting of the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#usecanonicalname">UseCanonicalName</a></code> directive.</p>

    <p>Note that this <code class="directive">ProxyPassReverse</code> directive can
    also be used in conjunction with the proxy feature
    (<code>RewriteRule ...  [P]</code>) from <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>
    because it doesn't depend on a corresponding <code class="directive"><a href="#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code> directive.</p>

    <p>The optional <var>interpolate</var> keyword, used together with
    <code class="directive">ProxyPassInterpolateEnv</code>, enables interpolation
    of environment variables specified using the format <var>${VARNAME}</var>.
    Note that interpolation is not supported within the scheme portion of a
    URL.</p>

    <p>When used inside a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code> section, the first argument is omitted and the local
    directory is obtained from the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code>. The same occurs inside a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#locationmatch">&lt;LocationMatch&gt;</a></code> section, but will probably not work as
    intended, as ProxyPassReverse will interpret the regexp literally as a
    path; if needed in this situation, specify the ProxyPassReverse outside
    the section or in a separate <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code> section.</p>

    <p>This directive is not supported in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files">&lt;Files&gt;</a></code> sections.</p>

<p>
Useful in conjunction with
<code class="directive"><a href="#proxypassreverse">ProxyPassReverse</a></code>
in situations where backend URL paths are mapped to public paths on the
reverse proxy. This directive rewrites the <code>path</code> string in
<code>Set-Cookie</code> headers. If the beginning of the cookie path matches
<var>internal-path</var>, the cookie path will be replaced with
<var>public-path</var>.
</p><p>
In the example given with 
<code class="directive"><a href="#proxypassreverse">ProxyPassReverse</a></code>, the directive:
</p>
    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPassReverseCookiePath  "/"  "/mirror/foo/"</pre>

<p>
will rewrite a cookie with backend path <code>/</code> (or
<code>/example</code> or, in fact, anything) to <code>/mirror/foo/</code>.

    <p>This defines remote proxies to this proxy. <var>match</var> 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 <code>*</code> to indicate
    the server should be contacted for all requests. <var>remote-server</var> is
    a partial URL for the remote server. Syntax:</p>

    <div class="example"><p><code>
      <dfn>remote-server</dfn> =
          <var>scheme</var>://<var>hostname</var>[:<var>port</var>]
    </code></p></div>

    <p><var>scheme</var> is effectively the protocol that should be used to
    communicate with the remote server; only <code>http</code> and <code>https</code>
    are supported by this module. When using <code>https</code>, the requests
    are forwarded through the remote proxy using the HTTP CONNECT method.</p>

    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyRemote "http://goodguys.example.com/" "http://mirrorguys.example.com:8000"
ProxyRemote "*" "http://cleverproxy.localdomain"
ProxyRemote "ftp" "http://ftpproxy.mydomain:8080"</pre>
</div>

    <p>In the last example, the proxy will forward FTP requests, encapsulated
    as yet another HTTP proxy request, to another proxy which can handle
    them.</p>

    <p>This option also supports reverse proxy configuration; a backend
    webserver can be embedded within a virtualhost URL space even if that
    server is hidden by another forward proxy.</p>

    <p>This directive allows a user to specifiy a timeout on proxy requests.
    This is useful when you have a slow/buggy appserver which hangs, and you
    would rather just return a timeout and fail gracefully instead of waiting
    however long it takes the server to return.</p>

    <p>This directive controls the use of the <code>Via:</code> HTTP
    header by the proxy. Its intended use is to control the flow of
    proxy requests along a chain of proxy servers.  See <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a> (HTTP/1.1), section
    14.45 for an explanation of <code>Via:</code> header lines.</p>

    <ul>
    <li>If set to <code>Off</code>, which is the default, no special processing
    is performed. If a request or reply contains a <code>Via:</code> header,
    it is passed through unchanged.</li>

    <li>If set to <code>On</code>, each request and reply will get a
    <code>Via:</code> header line added for the current host.</li>

    <li>If set to <code>Full</code>, each generated <code>Via:</code> header
    line will additionally have the Apache httpd server version shown as a
    <code>Via:</code> comment field.</li>

    <li>If set to <code>Block</code>, every proxy request will have all its
    <code>Via:</code> header lines removed. No new <code>Via:</code> header will
    be generated.</li>
    </ul>
