This maybe a little crazy or sounds silly. We have a reverse proxy talks to the backend Apache in SSL. However for better performance we wonder if we can disable the request encryption and decryption but only ssl-handshake? This pretty much like SSH pipe, once the trust-relation established, the pipe created, there is no need of encryption/decryption in data transaction. Can SSL experts shed some light on it?
