There are three problems with the following configuration:

<VirtualHost  _default_:5000>
ProxyRequests On
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+) https://$1 [P]
</VirtualHost>

This configuration can be used to -
    http ==> Apache ==> https ==>

The request http://localhost:5000/www.verisign.com/
fetches the page https://www.verisign.com

The three problems are:
1) Memory leak in ssl_engine_ext.c, function ssl_ext_mp_new_connection(). 
ssl_ctx is allocated and never freed.  This results in over 1K bytes leaked per
request.
2) There is no mechanism to check the server certificate.
3) Every request performs a full SSL handshake, even when to the same host.
