Best way to configure my apache as proxy server

[senthil kumar]

Hi,

I want to build my apache as proxy server. the end user can assess the
external domain like www.yahoo.com , www.orkut.com through my apache server.

Browser <====> My proxy ::8080 <==> ext dom

1. I established the connection to my proxy https://localhost:8080

Here my question is which is the best way to proxy the request to the
external domain through my apache server? and how?

I am not sure is it possible way to transfer the request
a. the requested external domain url as pass as the url string string like
https://localhost:8080/www.yahoo.com

b. the requested external domain url as pass as the argument to the url like
https://localhost:8080/request.a?extdom=www.yahoo.com
In that case , i get the ext domain url from argument and then call the
apache api to redirect the request. But I don't know is it possible.


Please help me if u have any sample / solution for proxy server .

Note:: I configured and loaded mod_proxy module.

skumar
