Can an Apache instance do it? Yes Apache can do this. However not "out of the box". See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslproxyengine For example add the following to your config: SSLProxyEngine on SSLProxyMachineCertificatePath /usr/local/apache2/conf/proxy.crt/ You can of course use another path, but it must contain the PEM encoded root certificate used to sign the certificates the servers you want to communicate with use. These you will have to provide yourself. Once you have that you ought to be possible to do something like this: ProxyPass /mysite https://www.myothersite.com/foo HTH, Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx krist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
