mod_python preprocess/filter before proxy

[Graham Dumpleton]

Yes, use PythonInputFilter directive to specify an input filter.

  http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/dir-filter-if.html

Input filters which modify the length of the data may be an issue
though when doing proxying however.

If you cant work it out, possibly more appropriate to take your
questions to the official mod_python mailing list referenced on the
mod_python site.
