I guess the response to the POST is a redirect (302) which is not rewritten by any of the ProxyPassReverse directives. In that case the URL of the Location header probably starts with http://andy:port/ instead of https://my.reverse.proxy.com/
What you need to do is figure out exactly what the value of the Location header of the 302 response is and add a ProxyPassReverse directive that matches that URL. Looking more closely at your configuration, I notice that you set ProxyPreserveHost On. In that case redirects from the Tomcats would be to http://my.reverse.proxy.com/, and since there is no ProxyPassReverse that matches, Location headers would never be adjusted. Basically, none of the ProxyPassReverse in your configuration would ever match a Location header in a 302 response from Tomcat. You then have two choices: either turn off ProxyPreserveHost, or change the ProxyPassReverse accordingly. I cannot see any good reason to use ProxyPreserveHost unless your backend application generates absolute HTTP links into HTML contents, based on the Host header. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Bo Najdrovsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 9:36 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https to http proxy with Apache Hello, I have a problem I've been grappling with for the past 3 days without much luck so I thought I'd come to the experts. :-) I have an Apache 2.0.x server, which acts as a load balancing gateway to multiple Tomcat servlet containers behind it. This proxying/load balancing is done using the combination of mod_rewrite and mod_proxy. It has been working very well for traffic over normal HTTP. I now need to make this work over HTTPS between the browsers and the Apache, and that's where I'm having the problem. I configured the Apache server to listen for HTTPS requests, and they forward correctly over regular HTTP to the Tomcats behind it, however whenever there is an incoming POST from a form in the web application, the response from the Tomcat causes a switch to HTTP, where I need it to remain HTTPS. Here's what the pertinent portion of the configuration looks like: RewriteMap tomcats "rnd:/path/to/tomcat-workers.conf" ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyTimeout 8000 <Location ~ "/mywebapp"> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond "%{HTTP_COOKIE}" "(^};\s*)jsessionid=\w*\.(\w+)($|;)" [NC] RewriteRule "(.*)" "http://$(tomcats:%2)%{REQUEST_URI}" [P,L,NC] RewriteRule "^.*;jsessionid=\w*\.(\w+)($|;)" "http://$(tomcats:$1)%{REQUEST_URI}" [P,L,NC] RewriteRule "(.*)" "http://$(tomcats:all)%{REQUEST_URI}" [P,L,NC] ProxyPassRevese http://andy:8012/ ProxyPassRevese http://andy:8022/ ProxyPassRevese http://andy:8032/ ProxyPassRevese http://andy:8042/ </Location> I suspect that the problem lies somewhere in the ProxyPassReverse, but don't know what I could to remedy it. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Bo --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
