# Apache Module mod_proxy_http

Description: | HTTP support module for `mod_proxy`
Status: | Extension
Module Identifier: | proxy_http_module
Source File: | proxy_http.c

### Summary

This module requires the service of `mod_proxy`. It provides the features used for proxying HTTP requests. `mod_proxy_http` supports HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. It does not provide any caching abilities. If you want to set up a caching proxy, you might want to use the additional service of the `mod_cache` module.

Thus, in order to get the ability of handling HTTP proxy requests, `mod_proxy` and `mod_proxy_http` have to be present in the server.

### Warning

Do not enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large.

### Directives

This module provides no directives.
