Reverse Proxy with proxy_html_module

[leeand00]

I'm trying to load a website on a different domain through my own domain.  The reason I am trying this is here in this stackoverflow question. 

 

The problem in the SO question above is that I can't monitor where the user on my domain is going on the remote domain (which is displayed in an iframe on my domain), and my client requires that I do so using Javascript.

Above diagram gleaned from text from here.

 

I researched this a bit (see above), and found that you can setup your apache2 server as a reverse proxy,

 

to request html pages from the remote domain under the apache2 and the browser will view this as coming from my domain.

 

(Thus resolving the whole inability to monitor which pages in the remote site they are visiting; in the browser in Javascript)

 

I have successfully setup my domain's apache2 instance with the mod_proxy_html.so module, and I can check the location of the iframe successfully upon the first load-up of the page

*see snippet of httpd.conf below:*

However, I cannot seem to get the links re-written within the page requested from the remote domain that displays in the iframe, thus rendering any links clicked within the iframe requested from the remote domain instead of my domain through the proxy. 

 

What do I need to change to make the src and action html tag attributes be re-written so that they go through the proxy when a user clicks a link or submits a form?  As I thought this would have been covered by the ProxyHTMLLinks directives.
