Reverse Proxy for Stand Interface Client (Web Client)

A reverse proxy is an intermediate server that is positioned between the client machine and the Web servers. To the client machine, the reverse proxy seems like a standard Web server that serves the client machine’s HTTP or HTTPS protocol requests, with no dedicated client configuration required.

The client machine sends ordinary requests for Web content, using the name of the reverse proxy instead of the name of a Web server. The reverse proxy then sends the request to one of the Web servers. Although the response is sent back to the client machine by the Web server through the reverse proxy, it appears to the client machine as if it is being sent by the reverse proxy.
