Hello,

I want to setup Apache with mod_proxy_connect on Windows so that when a client sends a CONNECT request to Apache, instead of getting the requested page by itself, it gives the control to a script(possibly by using mod_rewrite). How do I do that?

I don't know how the CONNECT method works, so I'm not sure if what I asked is even possible. If it's not possible due to the way CONNECT works, consider this second question:

When a client sends a CONNECT request to Apache to get a page from www.example.com, I want Apache to connect to the site I'm specifying instead and act as if it is connecting to www.example.com. Is this one possible?

Thanks.

It would be much less work to just use the reverse proxy functionality in mod_proxy.
A one-liner would lead to the result you described:
