I'm a raw newbie. I guess my query belongs in this thread.

I am trying to create a secure "wake on lan" function, invoked from a publicly exposed reverse proxy connection into a virtualhost/port on the same server (a Raspberry Pi) as the reverse proxy. All paths should end up invoking only one php page regardless of the incoming paths an external user has specified.

Will this code (mostly copied from other places) do that ?

I should have added, this is part of the reverse proxy code to invoke it

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass  /wol https://127.0.0.1:12345/
ProxyPassReverse /wol https://127.0.0.1:12345/
<Location /wol>

AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile "/etc/apache2/passwd.dat"
Require user userA
</Location>

ps I only have one port open for the reverse proxy, which links to other things, hence this roundabout way of doing it.

Apologies for the typos :(
ports are all 12345
