Re: Rewrite "Location:" header.

["moh bad" <mohamed@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

sorry, you're right I need to give some explanation

I have an apache server behind a reverse proxy, 
The reverse-proxy handles ssl connexion and send the request to the apache server.
But when the apache server send an redirect with a Location header, the reverse-proxy
didn't rewrite the value of this header.

1/ So the client access for example https://www.toto.com 
2/ the reverse proxy handles the ssl connexion, and send the request to apache server 
    So apache server receive a request on http://www.toto.com site
3/ Apache server send a redirect to http://www.toto.com/document 
4/ the reverse proxy send to the client the redirect as-is without rewriting it to 
https://www.toto.com/document

So, I wanted to solve this problem by rewriting the Location header before apache server send the
response headers.

thank you.

Yes you can.  Header edit.  Provided you have an up-to-date version.

But the usual reason for rewriting a Location is in a reverse proxy
situation, where there are better solutions.  As Joshua said, you
need to tell us what you're really doing.
