Client --http--> Reverse Proxy --intern--> Forward Proxy (ProxyRemote) --https--> Webserver

Hello,

i'm trying to get the following szenario to work with Apache
2.0.51/OpenSSL 0.9.7d:

Client --http--> Reverse Proxy --internal--> Forward Proxy
(ProxyRemote) --https--> Webserver

Ralf Engelschall said: "when you want to forward to a HTTPS target you
need HTTPS support in mod_proxy. That's only possible with mod_ssl
(which enhanced mod_proxy for HTTPS). Then you can do all: Accept
HTTP and HTTPS and connect
to HTTP and HTTPS targets, i.e. create gateways in all combinations."

Is it possible that SSL-forwarding is not working when using
ProxyRemote?

My logs :

My config :

<VirtualHost serverIP:80>
ServerName intra-xy.com
ServerAdmin mailadmin@example.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyRemote * http://proxyIP:3128
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPass / https://remoteServerIP/
ProxyPassReverse / https://remoteServerIP/
</VirtualHost>

In a test szenario where i can reach the 'remoteServer' directly
(without a proxy) it is working.

Client --http--> Reverse Proxy --https--> Webserver

Dawn, that the real remoteServer is only via proxy reachable:)

Hope you can help me,
thanks in advance, Leif
