[PHP] Web server request redirection
Hi, I have written a small webservice in M$ VS.NET (for some "political" reasons), which needs IIS to run. I would like not to open M$ IIS server for outer requests, but enable access just through linux/apache(/php) webserver instead. Is there any simple way, how to resend (at least POST/GET) requests in their original form to another webserver behind firewall a send its answer back? I tried fsockopen which gets the result OK. However this approach would, as I suppose, demand to parse answers from the server for Content-Type, etc. Is there anything more simple?

Yeah, that's what I was asking for: how? I can simply catch the outer request via $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA but don't know, how most effeciently process the result coming from windows machine.

More details here http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/ApacheProxy/page1.html With some forethought, you can probably use this to protect your IIS machine from malicious requests, too. I've thought, this would be the most native way but apache "experts" around me didn't know it. ProxyPass /melonfire/ http://www.melonfire.com/ directive seems to do the job. I'll try it, thanx alot!
