Re: mod_proxy reverse proxy optimization/performance question

[Roman Gavrilov]

No,  when https request gets to the server(apache), its being decrypted first then passed through apache routines, when it gets to the proxy part the URI already decrypted. proxy in its turn issues a request to the backend https server and returns the answer to the client of course after caching it.

Mostly its used for mirroring (both frontend and backend use https only) no redirections on backend though :) ProxyPass /foo/bar https:/mydomain/foobar/ ProxyPassReverse https:/mydomain/foobar/ /foo/bar I'll be more then glad to discuss it with you. So proxy should decrypt the stream, find URI, then encrypt it, and pass it encrypted to backend ?
