All,
I am trying to set Apache up as a
forward proxy to help solve an issue that we have where an
HTTP Client in our application does not support TLS 1.2 but an
API that we need to consume only supports TLS 1.2. What I am
attempting to do is use Apache to talk HTTPS/TLS 1.2 to the
target API but allow my internal client to talk to the proxy
over HTTP.
I had it in my head that this was
what a forward proxy was going to give me so after having set
up a forward proxy and configuring my application to use it I
was surprised to see that I was getting exactly the same
behavior that I was getting when I had no proxy configured
(failure of my internal client to speak TLS 1.2).
So my question is; can Apache be
configured as a FORWARD proxy to speak HTTP with the caller
but HTTPS to the callee?
I have spent a lot of time
searching and I did check the mailing list archives but it's
entirely possible that I just dont even know what to search
for to get a good answer so if this is a dumb question I
sincerely apologize for wasting the groups time.
Thanks in advance for any help.
