--- Comment #9 from Reindl Harald <[email protected]> ---
it IS worth when you have some hundrets of virtual hosts on dozens of machines
which all have php_admin_value settings for open_basedir and so on and as we do
migrate to everything-encrypted with letsencrypt certificates 

as you need to listen at port 80 even when you send HSTS headers and redirect
after the first non-ssl connection this would mean 500 additional cloned
<VirtualHost> definitions

in our case we decide via DNS if a domain goes over the TLS-offloading proxy or
if it is a low-traffic site directly to the apache server and so every
<VirtualHost> contains the construct below

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{CONN_REMOTE_ADDR} !^proxy-lan-ip
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
 </IfModule>

proxy-configuration is generated based on parsed vhost-config-files from the
origins - including look at that redirect stuff to make the decision if the
procy itself should redirect to https before contact the origin at all

you *really* don't want to deal with hundrets of cloned VirtualHost-definiton
or even worse with special treatment instead of such a unified "fits all"
configuration
