History

This module was experimental in Apache 1.1.x.

As of Apache 1.2, mod_proxy stability is greatly improved.

Since Apache 2.0 proxy features are divided into several modules in addition to mod_proxy: mod_proxy_http, mod_proxy_ftp and mod_proxy_connect — moreover caching is provided by mod_cache and related modules.

Since Apache 2.2 mod_proxy_ajp and mod_proxy_balancer added too.
