  Repair external WEB applications
    Another useful application of "Apache2::POST200" is to repair external
    applications. Suppose you have a WEB application written in some closed
    language or running on an external server that emits code 200 replies to
    POST requests. Setup a reverse or even forward proxy with
    "Apache2::POST200". It repairs the application without having access to
    it.

TODO
    Caching
        With a keep-alive connection the redirected request is most likely
        to come in over the same connection. Thus, some caching in a
        connection pnote would be good.

    User check
        Client IP checking may not be sufficient. The filter could check
        "$r->user", set a special flag in the redirect param and save the
        user name. The rewrite rules could then check the flag and require a
        valid-user. Then the response handler can verify "$r->user" against
        the saved user.

Client IP checking may not be sufficient. The filter could check
C<$r-E<gt>user>, set a special flag in the redirect param and save the user
name. The rewrite rules could then check the flag and require a valid-user.
Then the response handler can verify C<$r-E<gt>user> against the saved user.
