Brice RENAUD (brice@free.fr) - 12/04/2003 - mod_activex_filter_module_0.2b

This module is a small example of an Output Filter developed for Apache 2.0.44 and tested up to 2.0.46.

It's only a simple hack of mod_case_filter to get a way to filter ActiveX on a proxy.
Actualy, the only way to filter ActiveX if your proxy is unable to do it is to use a TIS module chained with your proxy.
But the TIS is only capable of doing HTTP/1.0. If you need real performances, you'll want to use HTTP/1.1.

That's why I wrote this small module...

It has been generated with classical commands: apxs -g -n activex_filter and apxs -c -n
You just have to do make and make install to use it.

Don't forget to modify your httpd.conf.

A good way to make Apache acting like a proxy:
# BRE (brice@free.fr) - 12/04/2003 - mod_activex_filter_0.2
#
# This is a small example of an apache compilation with only necessary compiled in modules
# to do a proxy with ActiveX Filtering enabled. These modules are:
#
# Compiled in modules: (get it with httpd -l)
# core.c
# mod_proxy.c
# proxy_http.c
# prefork.c (or worker.c if you prefer)
# http_core.c
# mod_mime.c
# mod_so.c
#
# and, of course, mod_activex_filter but this one is loaded dynamicaly at startup
