Squid-3 already has support for a similar header required by Microsoft 
OWA. It should be quite trivial to add support for the WebLogic header 
there.

In 2.5 the situation is slightly messier due to the lack of a clear 
distinction of http or https requests, but it should be possible with a 
little tweaking of the source.

Note that I've already written a perl redirector script but AFAIK there's no 
way to add extra headers with the redirector interface?
There was a patch posted for this not long ago.

[squid-users] WL-Proxy-SSL - telling weblogic about proxied ssl

[Jesse Reynolds]

Hi people
I'm trying to set up squid as an http and ssl accelerator for WebCT 
Vista, which is an application running on BEA WebLogic.

I want all connections between squid and weblogic to be plain text, 
on port 80. User connections will be a combination of SSL (https port 
443) and plain http.

Aparently, if I can get squid to add the following header to HTTPS 
requests, then things will be good:

WL-Proxy-SSL: true
My hope is that this will allow Weblogic to generate https urls when 
a user is using https, and http when they're using http. This is a 
non-trivial excercise when you're using squid as an accelerator, so 
you need some extra header to pass this info on to the backend 
appserver.

How would I go about achieving this? Is it possible?
Note that I've already written a perl redirector script but AFAIK 
there's no way to add extra headers with the redirector interface?

Thank you
Jesse
