No. Simple rewrite rule to proxy https traffic, generates https->https,
which isn't decrypted to http, but passed as-is.

Do you mean two different rules, one to rewrite the https request
coming from the browser to simple http request to another port, and a
second rule to rewite http requests of that "another port", to the
target https port?

Then it is still not a one-tier solution.
And I am even not sure that it will work (though I can check easily).

So I understand that if you want to proxy https traffic, but yet to
able to parse and/or understand it, you must have two separate tiers of
Apache (which means much more overhead); Is it true?
