content redirection to/from external app

[daemonc]

hi *

There is some application server that gets commands and responds in xml. The clients send and get commands to this application server via http protocol with an xml command as a body of http request. The question is are there any ways to get an apache server to handle http requests from clients and redirect its contents(that is an xml command) to an application server? And also to get contents from an application server and send it back to clients via http protocol.

thanks in advance

welcome to WebmasterWorld, daemonc!

you might be able to do this with mod_proxy.
otherwise you could write a cgi script to GET and return the xml doc from the application server.
