I have an application that requires http: <--> https: translation.
Some while ago, I was able to build Apache with mod_ssl and
mod_proxy on a FreeBSD system and it worked extremely well.

Now, I am trying to do the same thing on a Win NT machine with:

Apache/1.3.12 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.6.1 OpenSSL/0.9.5 running...

This is using the pre-compiled Windows binary from:

ftp://ftp.modssl.org/contrib/
Apache_1.3.12-mod_ssl_2.6.1-openssl_0.9.5-WIN32-i386.zip

[BTW: who is the kind soul that built this binary?]

It works *some* of the time. But when I try to access certain
URL's, Apache returns valid HTTP headers and NO document body.
The access log shows a 200 response with 0 bytes although a
manual inspection shows that the server is responding with
Content-Length: 11060 bytes.

10.10.10.30 - - [30/May/2000:07:21:14 -0700]
"GET https://app.financialengines.com/logon_advisor/sign_up.html
HTTP/1.0" 200 0

But the Error Log includes this entry:

[Tue May 30 07:21:14 2000] [error] [client 10.10.10.30]
(10035)Unknown error: proxy: error reading from
https://app.financialengines.com/logon_advisor/sign_up.html

Other (similar) documents on the *same* target host work
just fine. But many fail with this error and do so consistently.

The problem appears to result from some mod_proxy/mod_ssl
incompatibility but I haven't been able to get much further
than that. I've poked around Deja, bugs.apache.org and other
sources but have not turned up anything. Any suggestions?

Here are some salient snips from httpd.conf:

Port 7777
LoadModule proxy_module modules/ApacheModuleProxy.dll
LoadModule ssl_module modules/ApacheModuleSSL.dll
ProxyRequests On
<Directory proxy:*>
     Order deny,allow
     Allow from all
</Directory>
SSLMutex sem
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
SSLSessionCache none
SSLLog logs/SSL.log
SSLLogLevel info
