<module>mod_proxy</module></description>
<status>Extension</status>
<identifier>proxy_http_module</identifier>
<summary>
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <module
>mod_proxy</module>. It provides the features used for
proxying HTTP requests. <module>mod_proxy_http</module>
provide any caching abilities. If you want to set up a caching
proxy, you might want to use the additional service of the
<module>mod_cache</module> module.</p>
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling HTTP proxy requests,
<module>mod_proxy</module> and <module>mod_proxy_http</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>
