Thank your for your reply.
Yes, I have already traveled down that route and talked with our DevOps
guys. The system that handles SSL termination is a system they want little
or no configuration on. They (DevOps) understand that this could be
handled there, but they wont make the change there.
It is perfectly normal for a backend that works with http to return
internal Location headers with http.
If apache is the backend of some other reverse proxy it is the job of that
reverse proxy to use the correct url scheme requested by the client, that
is, to revert the location headers back to
I have spent 8+hours scouring the web, reviewing the Apache Httpd Cookbook,
the Definitive Reference, and the 2.2 documentation for mod_headers,
mod_proxy and core.
