Re: Firewall causing ProxyPass to fail

[Raj Jay <deep2079@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Eric! This was helpful.

ProxyRemote works fine when using http with the remote server.

For https requests I get a 502. The ProxyRemote document states that: "only "http" is supported by
    this module". Is there any work around for https?

Regards,
-Raj.

See the ProxyRemote directive
