apache-mod_proxy_connect-2.4.2-0.1.i586.rpm

Description:

This module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides support for
the CONNECT HTTP method. This method is mainly used to tunnel SSL requests
through proxy servers.

Thus, in order to get the ability of handling CONNECT requests, mod_proxy
and mod_proxy_connect have to be present in the server.

CONNECT is also used, when the server needs to send an HTTPS request through
a forward proxy. In this case the server acts as a CONNECT client. This
functionality is part of mod_proxy and mod_proxy_connect is not needed in
this case.

Do not enable proxying until you have secured your server. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large.
