[users@httpd] mod_proxy, ssl and detecting secure requests on the server side

[Matt Raible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>]

I've setup mod_proxy and mod_ssl successfully and have Tomcat
configured to run on 8080 and 8443 (for SSL).

If I proxy requests from /jobs -> http://localhost:8080/jobs,
request.isSecure() will returns false on the server side if I request
https://localhost/jobs. If I change it to /jobs ->
https://localhost:8443/jobs, request.isSecure() will return true.

I'd like to figure out a way to have http://localhost/jobs go to
http://localhost:8080/jobs and https://localhost/jobs to go
http://localhost:8443/jobs. Even better, it'd be nice to configure
things in a way so request.isSecure() returns the value based on the
originally requested URL, not on the proxied URL. Configuration like
the following would be ideal:

ProxyPass    http://*/jobs    http://*:8080/jobs
ProxyPass    https://*/jobs   https://*:8443/jobs

Is this possible in mod_proxy or is there a better connector mechanism
that makes this possible?

Thanks,

Matt
