Is it possible to successfully have Stronghold (ssl) proxy requests to a
non-ssl Orion on the backend?

I can proxy all day long http --> http, but it seems that Orion has no
mechanism in the <frontend> portion to say "the protocol is https, not http
when you need to do a redirect". If I say "port=443" it tries to use http on
port 443. This is bad and breaks things.

The Stronghold side is trivial with mod_rewrite or mod_proxy, it's just that
Orion is failing to use the right protocol when doing redirects, be them
internal (to make /foo turn into /foo/) or be it within a Java program.

ASCII for those who like visuals:

[https://ssl.server/foo] --(rewrite)--> [http://private.orion/foo]

Is this possible without setting Orion up with ssl support?

Help.
