I think you're not getting responses to this because no one is sure what you're trying to do. Are you saying that you're building a proxy server with mod_proxy and mod_perl in it and you want to add something to the requests that you proxy before sending them on to the real server? Have you tried writing a mod_perl fixup handler? > Just a note, I've been testing using mod_header to add a custom request > header and it has been working.

Ok, are you saying that it doesn't work when there are cookies? How does it fail? What happens? - Perrin
