We use a Google Search Appliance to crawl internal web servers. Because the
servers don't provide some headers needed by the GSA, I configured an Apache
2.2.23 with mod_proxy to add these headers and configured it to be used by the
GSA.
This works for http-urls, but not for https. The content is retrieved in the
latter case but the headers are not added (I peeked with httpfox in Firefox)
By the way: we are not able to configure the web servers directly, else I would
add the headers there. So using a forwarding proxy seems to be the only
solution.
This is my reduced to the relevant parts configuration:
---------------------------------
ServerName proxy.local
LogLevel debug
ServerRoot "C:/apache2"
LoadModule authz_host_module modules/mod_authz_host.so
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
Listen 8338
<VirtualHost *:8338>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
SSLProxyEngine On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from *
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Proxy>
Header always set X-GSA-External-Metadata "key=value"
</VirtualHost>
---------------------------------
Any ideas what's missing here ? I found a lot of configurations for mod_proxy
but nothing specific to my needs.
Is mod_proxy silently denying my attempt to modify parts of an https
communication ?
