 ====== LiteSpeed Web Server as a Proxy ======
-The purpose of a Proxy is to expand on functionality and add an extra layer of security. LiteSpeed doesn't support ''ProxyPass'', ''ProxyPassReverse'' and other [[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html|Apache 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 a few methods to achieve the same goal on LSWS. Unless the proxy is on the same server, most of time you will need to manually setup extral app for proxy first, then use rewrite rules with [P], or context to make the proxy work.

 ===== LiteSpeed Web Server as a Web Server HTTP Proxy =====
 This wiki explains how to set up LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) as a Proxy. This makes it possible to transform a URL that is usually just an IP and Port into a Fully Qualified Domain Name.
-In a control panel environment, such as cPanel, you may have used Apache ''mod_proxy'' directives. LiteSpeed can read these directives as well, though an external app must be manually added for full functionality.
