I'm trying to replace Apache with OpenBSDs httpd but can't figure out what to do with my ProxyPass statements.
In apaches conf it looks like this
ProxyPass /someurl http://192.168.123.123/someotherurl
ProxyPassReverse /someurl http://192.168.123.123/someotherurl
Great question! OpenBSD's newly written httpd is not a fully-featured web-server, and nor is it intended to be. As for relayd, which was the precursor to httpd, I do not believe that it has any ability to do what you require, either.
The best general-purpose replacement for Apache bar none is still nginx.
It is readily available in the OpenBSD ports tree as www/nginx, and can be easily installed as a precompiled package with pkg_add(1) — doas pkg_add nginx.
Once you install nginx, you would use the proxy_pass directive, and it'll probably look like this:
location /someurl {
proxy_pass http://192.168.123.123/someotherurl;
}
As for ProxyPassReverse, nginx has a more appropriate name for it — proxy_redirect, and the default value of default should already be sufficient for your needs (that is, if your ProxyPassReverse and ProxyPass directives both had the same value). Good luck!
