Apache http + Jboss + mod_proxy ou mod_proxy_html

Question

Estou desenvolvendo um aplicativo da Web Java EE em execução no JBOSS . Quero que os usuários se autentiquem no meu aplicativo da Web usando o certificado de autenticação X.509 do cartão inteligente para acessar o conteúdo da Web.

Eu decidi usar o servidor http Apache com o JBOSS usando mod_proxy , para poder usar o mod_ssl do Apache. Eu gostaria de saber se mod_proxy e mod_proxy_http são os mesmos? Se não, quais são as diferenças?

De acordo com a documentação:

Módulo Apache mod_proxy

This module implements a proxy/gateway for Apache. It implements proxying capability for AJP13 (Apache JServe Protocol version 1.3), FTP, CONNECT (for SSL), HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0, and HTTP/1.1. The module can be configured to connect to other proxy modules for these and other protocols.

Apache's proxy features are divided into several modules in addition to mod_proxy: mod_proxy_http, mod_proxy_ftp, mod_proxy_ajp, mod_proxy_balancer, and mod_proxy_connect. Thus, if you want to use one or more of the particular proxy functions, load mod_proxy and the appropriate module(s) into the server (either statically at compile-time or dynamically via the LoadModule directive).

Módulo Apache mod_proxy_http

This module requires the service of mod_proxy. It provides the features used for proxying HTTP and HTTPS requests. mod_proxy_http supports HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. It does not provide any caching abilities. If you want to set up a caching proxy, you might want to use the additional service of the mod_cache module.

Thus, in order to get the ability of handling HTTP proxy requests, mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http have to be present in the server.

Em resumo, o mod_proxy_http pode ser usado apenas para manipular proxy HTTP e HTTPS e isso requer o mod_proxy (fornecer recursos para outros módulos)
