yes, that is correct.  I meant http to https.  So, there is no way to do
this with existing mods?  I have to use something else?  Java or Python
program?  Anyone already have anything?

Just to clarify, I think you mean http to https forwarder, as in your
subject;
Apache forwards https to http without any problems.

But for http to https, your problem isn't configuration; Apache+mod_ssl
doesn't
have the code for initiation of HTTPS connections. I've looked!

Everybody told me it wouldn't work, I didn't believe them, I couldn't make
it
work, I read the code, it's not there!

The only product I know of that might be able to do this is IBM EdgeServer,
and
possibly Netscape. Have to say I don't like EdgeServer and I have no
experience
of Netscape.

Is there no-one around who'd like to code this? There are quite a few people
who
want to use Apache to initiate HTTPS connections. I don't have the time /
coding
skills.
