Hi there,
I've got an issue that may not actually be technically solveable. I need to send a users request for a URI to a remote server via my own apache proxy, but there are some complications to this. The user will issue the URL http://my.proxy.co.uk:8080/WEB The remote system expects to see the full URL combination as https://remote.me.int:8444/WEB (NOTE: HTTPS!!) However I have to proxy this through a remote proxy that only supports HTTP, e.g http://gateway:1998 <http://gateway:1998/> , this proxy also needs user/password authentication!!! My current configuration is as follows: Rewriterule to rewrite the incoming URL and re-write it to https://remote.me.int:8444/WEB and has a "P" flag at the end of the rule to send it to the Proxy engine. The proxy engine then has a ProxyRemote rule to send everything to the remote proxy. The problems I have with this is that the connection made to the remote proxy is in HTTPS, rather than HTTP, it doesn't support HTTPS!! I am under the assumption that the user/password authentication will be made via a webform so I can sort that on the clients browser, my main issue is how to tunnel the HTTPS connection without it being refused by the HTTP proxy. Anyone got any ideas?? Is this technically do-able with Apache??, anyone done this before?
