mod_activex_filter is an Apache module that enables ActiveX filtering for Apache proxy.

This module is a small example of an Output Filter developed for Apache 2.0.44 and tested up to 2.0.46.

It's only a simple hack of mod_case_filter to get a way to filter ActiveX on a proxy. Actualy, the only way to filter ActiveX if your proxy is unable to do it is to use a TIS module chained with your proxy.

But the TIS is only capable of doing HTTP/1.0. If you need real performances, you'll want to use HTTP/1.1.

That's why I wrote this small module...

It has been generated with classical commands: apxs -g -n activex_filter and apxs -c -n

You just have to do make and make install to use it.

Don't forget to modify your httpd.conf.

Simple example of a working httpd.conf:

KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15

StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

Listen 80
