Our hack is to forward 443 to port 81 on the middle tier:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443>
...
ProxyVia on
...
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://middle.tier.host:81$1 [proxy]
We set a value (is_secure => 1) on our internal request object when it
is initialized if the incoming port is 81. We also set remote_ip with:
$r->connection->remote_ip($1)
if ($r->header_in('x-forwarded-for') || '') =~ /((?:\d+\.){3}\d+)/;
This makes the log entries useful. There might be an easier way to do
this.
