mod_ssl in fronend-backend Apache configuration
Hello all! I need encrypted access to some directories on some virtual hosts. I have lightweight proxy apache server and backend mod_perl server. mod_ssl is not a light thing, and I need encrypt mod_perl'd script results only, therefore I think that mod_ssl should be in back-end server. Am I right ? Does mod_proxy pass ssl encrypted data? And if I'm right and such configuration is possible and correct, are there any examples of configuring 2 apache servers frontend - mod_proxy backend - mod_perl + mod_ssl on the net ? Any advices are welcome. Thanx in advance. -- Sergey Polyakov (BeerBong) Chief of Web Lab (http://www.mustdie.ru/~beerbong)

Does mod_proxy pass ssl encrypted data? the only "mod_proxy" that I've seen that will be an SSL client is the one in stronghold... if there is a public/open source one around somewhere, I'd love to know...

Hello BeerBong, ÐÏÎÅÄÅÌØÎÉË, 31 ÑÎ×ÁÒÑ 2000 Ç., you wrote: B mod_ssl is not a light thing, and I need encrypt mod_perl'd script results B only, therefore I think that mod_ssl should be in back-end server. Am I B right ? Does mod_proxy pass ssl encrypted data? mod_proxy allows CONNECT method for SSL protocol support. I didn't try it, though. Best regards, Ilyamailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
