[users@httpd] ProxyPassReverse not changing the protocol part (https to http) of
the redirect url
I need to proxy http requests to https server in the backend. Everything is
working except a minor issues in redirects URLs. ProxyPassReverse
translates the the URL except the protocol i.e. does not translate https
from backend server to http protocol.
*Version: Apache/2.2.15*
*
*
Below is the configuration for reverse proxy
<VirtualHost *:8888>
ServerName frontoffice.example.com
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /shop https://backend.example.com:9443/shop
ProxyPassReverse /shop https://backend.example.com:9443/shop
</VirtualHost>
e.g.
http://frontoffice.example.com:8888/shop/cart are proxied to
https://backend.example.com:9443/shop/cart. The backend server results in
redirect (302) to https://backend.example.com:9443/shop/login but browser
is getting the redirect as
https://frontoffice.example.com:8888/shop/cart.
So ProxyPassReverse rewrites the URL except the protocol.
Am I missing some configurations here or this is some known issue or
expected behavior?
I will appreciate any help on this front.
Thanks

Hi Amit,
Why would you like to reverse proxy to an HTTPS backend and then serve the
results back over HTTP? Usually, when one does an HTTP to HTTPS, there is
authentication involved, followed by secure session-related information.
Thanks,

Two things:
1. I dont see "ProxyRequest off" in your snipet which is needed for reverse
proxy
2. You can try rewriting the Location header something like this
Header edit Location ^https://(.*)$ http://$1
