Very interesting. Thank you for the reply. That's very disappoint that
haproxy doesn't support SSL. 
 
However, what if I my haproxy was HTTP, and it forwarded requests to my two
backend HTTPS (SSL) URL servers? 
 
Would this scenario work fine with haproxy?
 
Thank you
 
Anne

Greetings to all, 

I'm new to this group, but have really been working hard on getting haproxy
working for Oracle Application HTTP server over SSL. 

I've looked through the website, but can't seem to find anything that shows
how to setup SSL on the haproxy. I also can't find anything on how to setup
haproxy with Oracle Application HTTP server. 

Would someone on this list have that knowledge, and be willing to share? 

Thank you!

That's because haproxy doesn't support SSL in http mode, if u want HTTPS u
need to set up "SSL proxy" in form of for example Lighttpd.
so it works like that:
Lighttpd( https:443) -> Haproxy(http:80) ->your_backend_servers.

Only thing to watch out is loggin client IP, basically u have to add to
config
option forwardfor except 127.0.0.1
where "127.0.0.1" is ur SSL proxy address
Then proxy will be passing original client IP thru "X-Forwarded-For" header

"except 127.0.0.1" is because lighttpd adds "X-Forwarded-For" when used as
proxy so haproxy doesn't have to (obv. replace it with other ip if ur SSL
proxy is on different host)
