The replacement is always the current host URL. Excellent, you pinpointed my confusion exactly. I misunderstood ProxyPassReverse to be a URL rewriting rule for the response headers, including the protocol part of the URL. I went and played with the mod_proxy source to see what actually happens and saw that the protocol to use in fixing the Location header is determined by ap_http_scheme(), not from what is listed in the ProxyPassReverse directive. Without delving deeper into the code, I assume this is what you are explaining to me, that the protocol will always be that of the current VHost. In my case, since I am reverse-proxying the entire site, I can just remove the ProxyPassReverse directives and use mod_headers like you suggest, globally applying Header edit Location internal.example.com www.example.com This is working great. Thanks very much for helping me get straightened out!
