I am trying to reach an outside URL by going from an apache 2.2 instance to a proxy. The test is a perl CGI script which when run from command line can connect to the external URL.
But when I call this script from a browser, I get "cannot connect" error. Permissions on the script are 755.
HTTP_PROXY env var is set (but script defines proxy anyway).
I have implemented mod_proxy.conf, mod_proxy.load, mod_proxy_http.load.
I have also set "ProxyRemote * http://..."
Also, "ProxyRequest On" in mod_proxy.conf, though this if something else I think.
Not sure what the issue is ...
any help appreciated ~~~ |

not quite
that is the chain when I run the script on the server, command line, which works fine
the chain that doesn't work is when I engage apache web server by calling the script from a client browser
browser-->apache_web_server-->script-->internal_proxy-->website |

It turned out to be an issue of what a browser requires in order to return info. Perhaps the header? I'm not a frequent web developer, so these basic principles (which usually go unmentioned on tech sites) of web dev elude me sometimes..
We can probably delete this request if that is possible.. not really an apache issue.. |
