Apache HTTPD mod_proxy_http is an Apache HTTPD module that extends the mod_proxy module to provide HTTP proxying capabilities in the Apache HTTP Server (HTTPD). It allows the server to forward HTTP and HTTPS requests to backend web servers or applications over the HTTP protocol. Mod_proxy_http enables Apache HTTPD to act as a reverse proxy, forwarding incoming requests from clients to backend servers based on predefined rules and configurations. This module supports features such as load balancing, request buffering, SSL/TLS encryption, and connection pooling, making it a versatile tool for deploying web applications and services. Mod_proxy_http is commonly used in conjunction with other modules like mod_proxy_balancer and mod_rewrite to build scalable, high-performance proxy setups for distributing incoming HTTP traffic across multiple backend servers. s://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_http.html
