All,

I am new to this list. I have a question about mod_ssl and mod_proxy. In
our application we are using Apache as a reverse proxy to an internal
service over https. The internal service is sitting on another port on
the same machine so the data between Apache and the service does not
need to be encrypted. Here is the scenario:

1. Our client app sets up an SSL secured socket to our Apache server
running mod_ssl.

1. Our client app makes an initial HTTP CONNECT request over that
socket.

2. After both the SSL handshaking Apache's mod_proxy correctly hands
things off to our internal service listening on
    another port.

3. The client then begins sending some data through to our internal
service.

It is my understanding that since mod_ssl did the initial handshaking
that the data sent through to the other port should be unencypted.
Unfortunately it is not. At this point I do not know if the problem lies
in mod_proxy, mod_ssl or the order of events in some way. Anyone have
any ideas?

John
