Allow
This tag is a comma-delimited list of domains that are allowed to connect to this virtual host.
Description
If the
Allow
tag is left empty, the only connections allowed are those coming from the same
domain.
Examples
<Allow>macromedia.com,yourcompany.com</Allow>
This example allows only connections from the macromedia.com and yourcompany.com
domains.
<Allow>localhost</Allow>
This example allows
localhost
connections only.
<Allow>all</Allow>
This example allows connections from all domains. Macromedia does not recommend the use
of
“all”
; it may create a security risk.
Anonymous
This tag configures the virtual host as an anonymous proxy (also called an implicit or
transparent proxy) or as an explicit proxy.
Description
Both anonymous and explicit proxies intercept and aggregate the clients’ requests to connect
to the origin server. Here are some key differences between anonymous and explicit proxies:
■
The identity (IP address and port number) of an anonymous server is hidden from the
client.
■
The anonymous proxy does not change or modify the routing information in the
incoming URI before connecting the client(s) to the origin server.
■
The URI for an explicit proxy specifies the edge server(s) that will intercept connection
requests to the origin server.
You can create a chain of proxies by specifying them in the URI.
■
Any anonymous proxy in the chain passes on without modification the routing
information in the URI to the next edge server in the chain.
■
The routing information in the URI for a chain of explicit proxies specifies the edge
servers that are chained together to intercept connection requests to the origin server.
