The thing is that the URL requested by the CONNECT method is not prefixed with http://. Therefore, <ProxyMatch "^https"> will never match anything unless the host name is https. The following wil disallow access to http://www.forbidden.com/ (which translates into "GET http://www.forbidden.com/") but allow anything else whether http or https. <ProxyMatch "^http://www.forbidden.com"> deny from all </ProxyMatch> The following will disallow https://www.forbidden.com (which translates into "CONNECT www.forbidden.com") but allow anything else... <ProxyMatch "^www.forbidden.com"> deny from all </ProxyMatch> -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Reitenbach [mailto:reitenbach@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 12:58 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] only allowing specific hosts via https proxy Hi, Axel-Stéphane__SMORGRAV <Axel-Stephane.SMORGRAV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Do you have both proxymatch blocks in the same configuration ?? > no, I tested with the first ProxyMatch, and the http site was blocked, then I added the s to the http and restarted apache.
