mod_proxy & mod_ssl for http -> https proxying

[sw...@iqmarketing.com]

I know this isn't a development related question, but probably the group the
knows the best answer.

I need to setup a web server that accepts http connections and then does an
https proxy to another server. Can this be done and does someone have an
example setup?

However, I'm doing it with mod_rewrite, not just mod_proxy.

There's a very good guide to mod_rewrite and it shows how to use it along
with mod_proxy to build a reverse proxy.  I think you can use similar
techniques to take in HTTP and send out HTTPS, which is what is wanted here.
As I explained, I'm working on something that takes in HTTPS and sends out
HTTP.  I think it can be done, but I won't know for sure until I am
finished.

If it helps, I'm working on the opposite, an HTTPS server that proxies an
HTTP server.
