 ====== 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'' or other [[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html|Apache mod_proxy]] directives. 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 set up an extra app for the proxy first, then use rewrite rules with ''[P]'', or a context to make the proxy work.

 Please note: As of LSWS v5.3.6, there is support for ProxyPass and ProxyPassMatch for an AJP backend, but not for a non-AJP backend.
