For rt.openssl.org the problem is "solved" by having a separate Apache
instance just running RT on some internal port number and then let the
frontend Apache handle the http/https protocols.
<VirtualHost 195.30.6.166:80>
# server information
ServerName rt.openssl.org
ServerAlias rt.openssl.org
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerSignature on
UseCanonicalName on
ProxyPass / http://195.30.6.166:abcd/
ProxyPassReverse / http://195.30.6.166:abcd/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 195.30.6.166:443>
# server information
ServerName rt.openssl.org

So far I have not seen any malfunction.
