[users@httpd] HTTPS(SSL) reverse proxying.

[Tasso Angelidis <ta...@trustmarque.ca>]

Am starting to look at reverse proxying...

And from what I understand and read, I would like to confirm my thoughts using HTTPS (SSL) and reverse proxying.


>From what I understand reverse proxying works something like this....

Client <---- HTTP Request ----> Reverse Proxy <---- HTTP Request ----> Backend Server.

So https would work like...

Client <---- HTTPS Request ----> Reverse Proxy <---- HTTP Request ----> Backend server.

So it would just be the case of enabling mod_ssl on the reverse proxy and not having to worry about CONNECT  and that the reverse proxy would handle all HTTPS requests?

Thanks
