mod_jk + ssl on a virtual host.

["Robert r. Sanders" <ro...@ipov.net>]

I have an issue with detecting HTTPS when running on a virtual server 
behing mod_jk; here's my setup:

For reasons that I can't currently change I have an internal server 
running as  app.server.com (example url); it is aliased so that multiple 
virtual hosts (name based) are running as:  x.app.server.com ,  
y.app.server.com,  z.app.server.com, etc...  The server has an internal 
SSL certificate generated for app.server.com; this produces a warning, 
but otherwise works when using HTTPS to connect to x.app.server.com.  
Not the best solution, I know, but like I said right now I am just 
trying to support it.

So, to complicate matters I have Tomcat (5.0.28) running on the same 
machine, with all the virtual hosts using  
<Alias>x.app.server.com</Alias> in my server.xml file.  When connecting, 
I can access the web application via HTTPS; however Tomcat seems unaware 
that the connection is secure - request.isSecure() == false, as well as 
other tests that I can think of, overall annoying, but not too bad 
except that redirects are generated pointing to HTTP instead of HTTPS. 

I have tried:
    JkExtractSSL On
    JkHTTPSIndicator HTTPS

Does anyone know of any work around/fix to this?

 Thanks,
