[users@httpd] Apache Server as Forward Proxy - how to make https and others work?

[Panidhar Kunchala <ph...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
 I'm using Apache HTTP server as forward proxy by adding the following lines
in httpd.conf:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests On

<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>

</IfModule>

This works perfectly fine for http traffi. But when I use HTTPS or others,
this doesn't seem to work. Let me know what needs to be done for this.

Thanks in advance

HTTPS proxying is somewhat different. You need support for the
"CONNECT" methof, so mod_proxy_connect must be enabled.
