Re: Masquerading requests as HTTPS

[Mark Moseley]

Howdy. Actually, I don't need any actual SSL functionality. All I need to do is to trick everything from the transhandler phase downwards that the URL's scheme is 'https' so that redirects have https://, not http://, since anyone doing a mod_rewrite or scripted redirect whilst in SSL would get shunted back to HTTP otherwise -- and no doubt harass our customer support ;)

So nothing fancy and encrypted, since I'm doing the SSL offloading on the BigIP (which is sweet). I want to keep the session between the bigIP and the backend server in regular HTTP.
