 +LiteSpeed 6.0 and above do support ''​ProxyPass''​ directive as well as rewrite rule-based proxy with ''​[P]''​ without setting up an external app.
  
-LiteSpeed ​doesn'​t ​support ''​ProxyPass'',​ ''​ProxyPassReverse''​ and other mod_proxy directives. However, you can use rewrite rules with ''​[P]''​ and set up an external app of the proxy in LSWS configuration to make it work fully.  ​+LiteSpeed ​5.4.x and earlier version do not support ''​ProxyPass'',​ ''​ProxyPassReverse''​ and other mod_proxy directives(starting from LSWS 5.3.6, ​ ''​ProxyPass''​ and-''​ProxyPassMatch''​ support for AJP backend have been added but not supported for non-AJP backend). However, you can use rewrite rules with ''​[P]''​ and set up an external app of the proxy in LSWS configuration to make it work fully.  ​

 +==== Example 4: cPanel webmail-like proxy ====
 +cPanel'​s ''​www.domain.com/​webmail''​ proxy loads one installation at ''<​nowiki>​http://​127.0.0.1/​rainloop/</​nowiki>''​.
 +
 +An Apache user without a control panel who wants to copy this behavior may achieve it with ''​ProxyPass'',​ like so:
 +  ProxyPass "/​webmail/"​ "​http://​127.0.0.1/​rainloop/"​
 +
 +But LiteSpeed doesn'​t support ''​ProxyPass''​ in this case. Instead, a LiteSpeed user may simply use the following rewrite rule in the virtual host's Apache configuration. No need to create an external app:
 +  RewriteRule /​webmail/​(.*) http://​127.0.0.1/​rainloop/​$1 [P]
