Mladen's patch to mod_jk is simplier than this one, so I would prefer it to this one. But I have no voting rights on this list :).


Right, I'll prepare something for mod_proxy as well.
It is on my TODO list for a long time.

Thank you. As I was saying in my previous message on this list [*], I've been able to get the full chain of certificates with mod_jk successfully with Jetty. One of the reasons I wanted to change is that the Jetty team now recommends using mod_proxy.
In fact, they also suggest using mod_proxy_http rather than mod_proxy_ajp.
For this, I think getting the full chain of certificate would require a variable in mod_ssl (for example SSL_CLIENT_CERT_CHAIN as it's done using my patch, or something else and/or a better patch), combined with a custom header via mod_headers. Of course, this would also require the reverse proxy to clear such a user-provided request header, if present, to avoid spoofing. I suppose this could be useful for other containers behind a reverse proxy, even if they don't support AJP.

Best wishes,

Bruno.
