[mod_proxy] Reverse proxy to a hostname.

Added by MetaYii about 10 years ago

Hi,

I have this use case:

1) An Amazon AWS S3 bucket with HTTP hosting enabled.
2) An AWS ELB with a lighttpd farm behind, HTTPS access.
3) In order to comply with the same origin policy for my javascript scripts, I thought to use lighttpd in the farms as a reverse proxy pointing to the S3 bucket, where scripts are stored. But proxy.host accepts IP addresses only.

It would be really useful to be able to configure hostnames for proxy.host, since cloud services such as AWS depend on dynamic IP addresses, CNAMEs and such.
