map non ssl url to ssl url for mod_proxy

[May Lyn Lis <ma...@yahoo.com.sg>]

Hi,

I'm setting up reverse proxy for our client using
mod_proxy. The reverse proxy box is ssl enable, but
the connection to the backend webmail server is non
ssl.

client --https--> reverse proxy --http--> webmail
server

I was given a requirement that to map client request
which is non ssl url to the ssl url.

I have try to configure the following portion to
rewrite the url (mod_rewrite and mod_vhost are
enabled).

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://%proxy.abc.com/$1 [R,L]
</VirtualHost> 

However, the client side url eg: http://proxy.abc.com
did not able to give me any result, and the error page
is
Cannot find server or DNS Error.

If the client side url is https://proxy.abc.com, the
expected result was returned.

Any necessary configuration that I've missed out for
achieving the mapping objectives?

Thank you.

MayLyn

Uhhh... I don't know much about SSL reverse proxies, but I know this isn't
one.  The R in the options means "external redirect", which means the
original client will request the new URL.  I think you want P for proxy.
