Thanks for your answer Luca !
The problem is that, I need this to work under Apache 2.2(also), and
"if" seems to be available only on 2.4+.
I have done some dirty work around, which seems to do the job:
==================
<Proxy "http://1.1.1.1/";>
ProxySet connectiontimeout=60 timeout=30
</Proxy>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Proxied} !^1
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ "/my_unique_internal_key/$1" [L,PT]
ProxyPassMatch "/my_unique_internal_key/(.*)$" "http://1.1.1.1:80/$1";
keepalive=on
==================
With this I'm first using RewriteCond and RewriteRule with [PT], to do
internal rewrite only if I have my header, then doing proxying only on
the internal re-written address.
With this config, I'm able to benefit from KeepAlives between Apache and
Backend(1.1.1.1:80).

Hi to all,
I want to make conditional forward proxy within Apache ,based on
request header if a given request header exists, I want to proxy
the request, if not, not proxy
and also I need to do this NOT with RewriteRule and [P] flags.
I can't find how to define conditional proxying based on some
environment variable or request header, to achieve the following:
<If RequestHeader - Some_Header == 1 >
ProxyPassMatch / http://127.0.0.1:8080
</>
You should be able to use something like:
<If "-z req('Some_Header')"> # or maybe req('Some_Header') -eq 'xyz'
ProxyPass etc..
</If>
More info about available operators and functions in
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/expr.html#functions
Hope that helps!
Luca
