Hello All,

I am setting up an architecture with many servlet containers behind an
apache 2.0. I tried mod_proxy first, and it works fine for me, except
for https. Normally with mod_proxy, https connection is made to apache
and then it is forwaraded to servlet container as normal http. This is
ok as long as security is concerned (http is done in trusted
environment); the problem is that servlet container does not know that
the connection is safe (request.isSecure() returns false).

I know that this problem can be easily solved with mod_jk. For now, I
use only tomcat as servlet container, so this is ok. However, one day I
might be forced to chage servlet container to something else, like oc4j
for example. And then apache with mod_jk will not be a good solution.

So the question is: "Is it possible to use some magic proxy in front of
servlet containers of different brands so that https works properly?"

Thank you in advance for your help,
Michal.
