RE: Using mod_ssl as a https-to-http proxy
Do I need to add any other module beside mod_proxy? None of the mod_proxy directives seem to work. I only changed the Configuration under the apache 1.3.9 source to add the proxy module. Is there anything else I need to do to build the proxy? Thanks, and sorry for my newbe questions... Yaniv. The idea is that the application server gets requests and sends responses in plaintext, and the Apache server takes care of encrypting/decrypting everything for it. I heard it was possible (perhaps I was misled). Any idea how? That should be easy. Just use ProxyPass or RewriteRule with flag [P] on the SSL-aware VirtualHost of the Apache/mod_ssl server. Read the mod_proxy and/or mod_rewrite documentation for details. __ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you didn't messed up something a --enable-module=proxy following by a "make install" is enough. But make sure in case of DSOs you're actually loading _and_ adding the new module. For more details please have a careful look at the Apache INSTALL document, please. Ralf S.

Re: Using mod_ssl as a https-to-http proxy
Hi list, Yaniv. I can confirm this is possible. I've used it to beef up a certain commercial Web Application Server to 128-bit while still using the particular vendor's web-listener. I think is called "reverse" proxying. Read mod_rewrite docs.
