Hey everybody. this is my first post here. wish to see reponses from
you experts.

I am new to linux, proxy, apache these stuffs.

I have a rough idea of how proxy server works. It first receives a
request from a client, then fetches the file the client requests, then
sends it back to the client.

What I need to do is that before the file (webpage, be specific) is
sent back to the client, I want to modify the page (eg, change some
links in the page, add some words). How to do this? I know it's
something Apache is in charge of. And it seems some programming is
needed.

Could anyone tell me how to do this? How and where do I change apache
source code?

You use a filter.

See http://apache.webthing.com/ for a number of examples, and
in particular my presentation slides on exactly this subject
at http://apache.webthing.com/filter.pdf .
