Apache HTTPD mod_proxy
Apache HTTPD mod_proxy is a module that provides proxying capabilities for the Apache HTTP Server (HTTPD). It allows the server to act as a reverse proxy, forwarding requests from clients to other servers or backend applications. Mod_proxy enables various proxying functionalities, including load balancing, content caching, and protocol translation, making it a versatile tool for deploying web applications and services. With mod_proxy, Apache HTTPD can efficiently distribute incoming requests across multiple backend servers, improving performance, scalability, and fault tolerance. Additionally, mod_proxy supports various protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, AJP, and WebSocket, allowing seamless integration with diverse backend systems. It is widely used in combination with other modules like mod_proxy_balancer and mod_proxy_http to build robust and high-performance proxy setups for web applications. s://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html
