Hello, After some more search, I found this reference to ICAP protocol, which exactly is the use case I am trying to solve.
Please see: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3507#section-3.2 In my case, I can not use ICAP client as the server I've to interact with does not support ICAP; it is HTTP based. So in this case, I was trying to understand how existing modules - mod_proxy & mod_proxy_http - functions in this context. Will they serve my purpose if I have to use HTTP interface to connect with an external server. /anil.
