Hi All
If you don't mind I would like to submit a feature request to this mailing
group for new functionality in the mod_proxy module.
Make mod_proxy SSL aware. mod_proxy should be able to negotiate SSL
connections with other web servers in order to reverse proxy to them. The
typical scenario is the following one...
ProxyPassReverse
Browser -----> mod_proxy ------> HTTPS
RewriteRule .. .. [P]
The web browser connects to Apache and based on the URL structure it should
proxy the request to a web server that has SSL enabled.
At a current state, mod_proxy, correct if I am wrong, does not talk to SSL
enabled web servers at all. Hence it can not reverse proxy to SSL enabled
servers.
Everything works great with normal HTTP traffic.
M-Tech, the company I work for is willing to help out with the development
work if needed in order to get this functionality in place.
Any response, comment or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
