<description><module>mod_proxy</module> extension for
<code>CONNECT</code> request handling</description>
<status>Extension</status>

<summary>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <module
>mod_proxy</module>. It provides support for the <code>CONNECT</code>
HTTP method. This method is mainly used to tunnel SSL requests
through proxy servers.</p>
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling <code>CONNECT</code>
requests, <module>mod_proxy</module> and
<module>mod_proxy_connect</module> have to be present in the server.</p>
<note type="warning"><title>Warning</title>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a
href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
large.</p>
