Lighttpd

Hi,

I'm using lighttpd version 1.4.19.

It supports reverse proxy using proxy.server configuration with mod_proxy module. Example

proxy.server = ( ".jsp" =>
                       ( (
                           "host" => "10.0.0.242",
                           "port" => 81 
                         ) )
                     )

A reverse proxy is used to redirect requests for a Web site to a number of servers for a client.

But I am not sure whether it supports forward proxy - A forward proxy is used to support Internet access for a number of clients through a single server for security, caching, or filtering.

That is, the "host" in the above proxy.server should be dynamically configurable based upon the input URL.

Please let me know if there is a way to configure lighttpd as a "forward" proxy.

Thanks,
Thiyaga
