Title

The web server must not be a proxy server.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>A web server should be primarily a web server or a proxy server but not both, for the same reasons that other multi-use servers are not recommended.

Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)

Uninstall any proxy services, modules, and libraries that are used by the web server to act as a proxy server. Verify all configuration changes are made to assure the web server is no longer acting as a proxy server in any manner.
