Directives placed in <Proxy> sections apply only to matching proxied content. Shell-style wildcards are allowed.

For example, the following will allow only hosts in yournetwork.example.com to access content via your proxy server:

<Proxy "*">
 Require host yournetwork.example.com
</Proxy>

The following example will process all files in the foo directory of example.com through the INCLUDES filter when they are sent through the proxy server:

<Proxy "http://example.com/foo/*">
 SetOutputFilter INCLUDES
</Proxy>

Differences from the Location configuration section

A backend URL matches the configuration section if it begins with the the wildcard-url string, even if the last path segment in the directive only matches a prefix of the backend URL. For example, <Proxy "http://example.com/foo"> matches all of http://example.com/foo, http://example.com/foo/bar, and http://example.com/foobar. The matching of the final URL differs from the behavior of the <Location> section, which for purposes of this note treats the final path component as if it ended in a slash.

For more control over the matching, see <ProxyMatch> .
