I am new here, was hoping to post a problem I am having, would love to hear some input. I've been dealing with this problem for a while now and it's driving me nuts, haven't been able to find the problem. I have a gateway server that is running OpenBSD and Apache 2 and is set up with mod_ssl and mod_proxy. The only listen port is 443. I have it configured so that a bunch of requests are handled by a backend server, running on port 4080. Something like https://gateway/resourceA maps to http://backendserver:4080/resourceA. I have ProxyPass to handle requests, and ProxyPassReverse to handle the redirects. However, ProxyPassReverse doesn't seem to be doing it's job, because redirects are not working properly. Let me explain what I mean. Let's say, for example, that resourceA/test1.html redirects in the backend server to resourceA/test2.html. When I request https://gateway/resourceA/test1.html, I would expect to get https://gateway/resourceA/test2.html. However, instead what happens is that the redirect generates a request on port 80, or http://gateway/resourceA/test2.html. This, of course, times out because my Apache instance on my gateway server is not listening on port 80, nor is my firewall allowing communication on port 80 to this gateway server. I tried opening up port 80 on my firewall, listening on port 80, and writing some mod_rewrite directives to redirect requests on http:// to https://. This does not work. The redirect generated is still for port 80 (it is not getting re-written to https), and of course it can't find any such resource on the gateway server, so I get a 403 back (which is odd, I would have expected 404, but I am getting a forbidden HTTP code back). I suspect this has to do with how I am setting up the servername directive. Right now I have it set up as gateway:80 (I am using the actual domain, not the word 'gateway' but the actual domain is not important). If I change it to gateway:443, I get a bunch of errors logged that say "warning: running http over an https port" or something like that. I don't know if I've said enough to characterize the problem. I've searched the net and usenet groups up and down looking for an answer, but I've yet to find a solution. Please help!! Thanks, Daniel -- Daniel A. Silva Senior Consultant, PlatinumSolutions, Inc.
