title: Is it possible to move from Apache to HAProxy/nginx as reverse proxy?
body: <p>We are using Apache as reverse proxy (<code>mod_proxy</code>). The most important feature for us is url mapping (simple url rewriting) including rewriting of cookie paths. As I surprisingly learned nginx does not rewrite cookie paths (with factory modules). I am not sure but I believe HAProxy can do this. Apache is too heavy only for this job. So can you comment on what to use in this situation? (backend is a Java app server e.g. Tomcat)</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Continue using Apache</li>
  <li>Use nginx with some 3rd party modules (lua etc.)</li>
  <li>Use HAProxy</li>
  </ol>
