change header fields in reverse proxy mode

Dear users
Hi

For using mod_proxy I studied articles like below:
http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies
I have a problem that I could not find a solution for it. My web application checks referer field of HTTP packet and if referer differ from internal address of my application, it don't send any response to client. I searched for a module like mod_proxy_html that could change HTTP header fields just before mod_proxy. The only module i could find is mod_replace. Is there a better module?

Regards,
Ebrahim Khalilzadeh

Hello;
mod_headers can process the incoming headers (add, edit, delete)
prior to them reaching mod_proxy. Use the RequestHeader directive to
make those kinds of changes. Note that there are some headers that
mod_proxy uses (like X-ForwardedFor) that you can not change.
