Hi All,
   I am configuring a reverse proxy with Apache 2.2 and I need for cert=
ain conditions to make a request to another proxy. These conditions are bas=
ed on some request headers and I can use them directly or mod_setenvif to c=
onfigure a variable based on them.
   For example I would like the following flow:
For request header X-Custom-Type TYPE_1 -> forward to proxy 1For request he=
ader X-Custom-Type TYPE_2 -> forward to proxy 2etc...
  I know that there is the directive ProxyRemote in mod_proxy but this =
can be used at most with an url regular expression.
  Did anyone managed to set up a flow like this?
Regards,Alin

Presumably this other proxy is a forward proxy? If it's a reverse
proxy you don't need to do anything.

Use RewriteCond to check the custom header.

The trick here is to rewrite into different address spaces with the
relevant ProxyRemote settings.

I tried this, with no luck.

The good part is that the proxy will be always reverse, so it is easy to ac=
complish only with mod_rewrite.
