Has anyone gotten an Apache 2.0.43 SSL reverse proxy working to an IIS
backend server requiring certificate verification on the IIS server
side?  I can reverse proxy Apache to an SSL Unix server and an SSL IIS
server (neither requiring certificates).  I can also reverse proxy
Apache to an SSL Unix server requiring certificate verification.  I
have not been able to get it working to an IIS server requiring
certificate verification.  I have verified that the Apache
certificates are valid using openssl to retrieve web pages from the
IIS server:

  openssl s_client -connect IIS-server:443  -cert user.crt -key
     user.key -CAfile ca-bundle.crt
  GET / HTTP/1.0

  <Web page content...>

Originally when I tried the reverse proxy to the IIS server I would
get a segmentation fault in ssl_engine_kernel.c.  For some reason
info->x_pkey was a NULL pointer.  I modified the code shown below to
get around this:

$ diff ssl_engine_kernel.c{.ORIG,}
1606,1607c1606,1609
<     *pkey = info->x_pkey->dec_pkey; \
<     EVP_PKEY_reference_inc(*pkey)
---
>     if (info->x_pkey != 0) { \
>         *pkey = info->x_pkey->dec_pkey; \
>         EVP_PKEY_reference_inc(*pkey); \
>     }

Now when I use openssl to connect to the reverse proxy I get:

HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error

The Apache error log shows:

I don't know enough about SSL to know what is going on.  It looks like
the SSL_read() is failing but I do not know why.  If I don't get
anywhere with this i'm thinking about trying the expermental code in
Apache 1.3.27 to see if I have any luck.  Any input would be welcome.
Thanks.
