+How to proxy SSL requests through
+your non-SSL Apache server
+
+(submitted by David Sedlock)
+
+
+SSL uses port 443 for requests for secure pages. If your browser just
+sits there for a long time when you attempt to access a secure page
+over your Apache proxy, then the proxy may not be configured to handle
+SSL. You need to instruct Apache to listen on port 443 in addition to
+any of the ports on which it is already listening:
+
+
+Listen 80
+Listen 443
+
+
+Then set the security proxy in your browser to 443. That might be it!
+
+
+If your proxy is sending requests to another proxy, then you may have
+to set the directive ProxyRemote differently. Here are my settings:
+
+
+ProxyRemote http://nicklas:80/ http://proxy.mayn.franken.de:8080
+ProxyRemote http://nicklas:443/ http://proxy.mayn.franken.de:443
+
+
+Requests on port 80 of my proxy nicklas are forwarded to
+proxy.mayn.franken.de:8080, while requests on port 443 are
+forwarded to proxy.mayn.franken.de:443.
+If the remote proxy is not set up to
+handle port 443, then the last directive can be left out. SSL requests
+will only go over the first proxy.
+
+
+Note that your Apache does NOT have to be set up to serve secure pages
+with SSL. Proxying SSL is a different thing from using it.
