Ahhhhh!

That's the little detail I was missing. :-)

Thanks for the help!!

What seems strange to me is that the proxy host requires a certificate just
to tunnel a session to an https backend system... This seems like quite a
lot of overhead for nothing...

And contrary to what the docs tend to have one believe, AllowCONNECT is not
necessary. In fact, I can even disable mod_connect and this has absolutely
no effect.


For others who google this thread in the future, here's what seems to be the
"minimal reicipie" for getting this working:

******
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
Listen 443

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key

  SSLProxyEngine on
  ProxyPass /bla/ https://backendhost/bla/
  ProxyPassReverse /bla/ https://backendhost/bla/
</VirtualHost>
******
