IIRC, ogo had problems to generate the right links, when I had it running 
behind pound reverse proxy. Pound terminated SSL, and then redirecting to a 
bunch of OGo instances, behind Apache on port 80. I used it as a load 
balancer. But on some links, e.g. generated in mails from OGo about 
appointments, then the wrong protocol was generated, http instead of https

why not just using mod_ngobjweb in the apache?
