<description>HTTP support module for

<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>
    supports HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. It does <em>not</em>
    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>
