Hi, Do I understand you right and you're proposing to have just an Apache module (not a hook on either output or input filter) and modify the request then?
I'd be very thankful if you can point me to any typical C code example doing that. I'm not very good at Python and never used to code with it. While I think that I understand what you're talking about, I'd be much comfortable with being able to sneak at the example ;) What I will also need is to rewrite cookies. Will I be able to do that this way as well? I decided to try on input filter just because I thought I may get in troubles rewriting the cookies. I'll also need to modify the proxy response, so it's a place for output filter, isn't it? Thanks, your reply was very quick.
