Description Ben RUBSON 2016-04-25 09:17:26 UTC 
Hello,

This feature request follows this discussion :
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59319

Could we think about adding a way to configure the default workers (forward, reverse) and to configure defaults for all workers please ?

What made me to ask this is that connectiontimeout is not enforced in the following configuration (explained in the previous discussion) :
ProxyPass "/api/" "https://${proxytouse}/api/" interpolate connectiontimeout=5

Thank you very much !

Ben

This should easily work for parameters such as connectiontimeout.

However, for things such as connection pooling, would it work without having to individually declare each target worker ?

For example, with such a rule :
ProxyPass "/api/" "https://${proxytouse}/api/" interpolate
Would Apache be "smart" enough to start a worker and its connection pool for every new proxy it deals with, and if the worker has not been literally declared in the configuration, to apply the default configuration (which could have connection pooling enable by default, or at least contain connection pooling settings) ?

Thank you !
