Figure 14-14 Reverse Proxy
Figure 14-15 illustrates the concept of a reverse proxy
with a user requesting a web page from
https://server.com. In this case, server.com is the
reverse proxy, which first terminates SSL and then
translates the request and issues a new request to the
images.server.com server. The images server then
responds to the request, gathering and translating the
response and sending it back to the client. The
translation could mean applying compression (gzip) to
the response.
