Hi all, I have a few applications on the same machine
each with a web server on their own respective ports.
I want to create a virtual directory or path so that
if I browse to the machine on port 80 and path service1
it goes to port 8081 on the same PC...etc etc...
e.g.

http://192.168.0.100/service1     ->  http://192.168.0.100:8081
http://192.168.0.100/service2     ->  http://192.168.0.100:8082

What is the best way to approach this.
NOTE: The applications use the unique IP of the 'logging in' clients
to be able to authenticate, however through this arrangement, the
ip may not propagate to the services. How should this be handled

Thanks all!!

You need to have a web server running on port 80.  When it receives a 
request for '/service1', it needs to send back a 302 response that includes 
a 'Location: http://192.168.0.100:8081' header.  The client will then know 
to connect to port 8081 instead.

Likewise, when the web server on port 80 receives a request for '/service2', 
the 302 response needs to have a 'Location: http://192.168.0.100:8082' 
header.
