Help with ProxyPassReverse and redirecting to HTTPS with S..

External Since: Mar 21, 2006 Posts: 2

Hi, hope someone can help with this:

We use Apache as a reverse proxy behind a load balancer which has SSL
terminated on it so Apache only handles HTTP. The back-end application
(on Websphere 5) is fond of issuing redirects but as we would like to
have the entire site running over HTTPS I am trying to find a way of
getting Apache to convert the HTTP redirect the back-end is issuing to
HTTPS before returning to the browser. It seems you can use
ProxyPassReverse and ServerName to convert the URI, but I don't know of
any means to specify HTTP or HTTPS.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks ...Leo

Yep, ProxyPassReverse has been tried. It seems to construct DomainName
and Port from the ServerName parameter (Apache 2), but protocol does
seem to come from the request record, which fine normally but in this
case we need the protocol to be set to https even though Apache has
received the request on http. Still looking for a solution ...
