Hi Ralf,
We want to do HTTPS-HTTPS reverse proxying. I'm interested in the
patch so I can set up a proof of concept for the sceptics here :-)
Any help would be greatly recieved,
Anthony Wyatt

When youre reverse proxy should just accept HTTPS and forward the request
via
HTTP to the backend servers, you can already achieve this with the current
mod_ssl versions. HTTPS-to-HTTPS is currently only possible in a limited
way.
For full HTTPS-to-HTTPS gateways you have to wait until I finally commit the
C2Net-contributed proxy stuff (from Stronghold) into mod_ssl 2.3.x. It's
already prepared, but I've still not written documentation for it nor tested
in depth. But when you're interested I can send you the patch in the
meantime.
