[users@httpd] Using Apache as Proxy

[Manuela.Vorazzo@xxxxxx]

Hello everyone!
I've an application on my internal network
 that needs to access a public server on internet network.
I would like that this client could
reach that server using an apache http server configured as proxy.

That apache server is listening on port
443 and on port 80.

I've set in my java client configuration
the following directives:

-Dhttps.proxyHost=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-Dhttps.proxyPort=80

This is the configuration from my apache
httpd.conf:
ProxyRequests On
 AllowCONNECT 80 443
<Proxy *>
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.165
</Proxy>

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.165 is the address
of my client application.

This is the configuration ffrom my apache
ssl.conf
ProxyRequests On
AllowCONNECT 80 443
<Proxy *>
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from 192.168.77.165
</Proxy>

But when I try to use my proxy I get
the following in my webserver log:
Jul  3 16:05:21 li3watp0 httpd[18504]:
[info] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.165] SSL library error 1 in handshake (server
atmweb-test.ssb.it:443)
Jul  3 16:05:21 li3watp0 httpd[18504]:
[info] SSL Library Error: 336027803 error:1407609B:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:https
proxy request speaking HTTP to HTTPS port!?
Jul  3 16:05:21 li3watp0 httpd[18504]:
[info] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.165] Connection closed to child 3 with abortive
shutdown (server atmweb-test.ssb.it:443)

I get the same if I change 
-Dhttps.proxyHost=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-Dhttps.proxyPort=443


If I try using 
-Dhttp.proxyHost=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-Dhttp.proxyPort=80

from my application everything is OK!


Any ideas?
Can you help me???
Please let me know.

Thanks in advance
