Re: man-in-the-middle https proxy

Hi Nick,

thanks for pointing me to TLS/SNI patch which I found in 2.2.12dev working, but this needs a TLS/SNI enabled browser also. We are using IE6 on Windows XP :(

My next issue on realising a https proxy would be that that mod_proxy_connect gets the server-name in the request of CONNECT www.server.name. mod_proxy_connect can currently make a direct connection to the www.server.name or forward the CONNECT-request to a remote proxy.

Would it a great issue to generate a fake-x509-certificate for www.server.name by a trusted fake-ssl-proxy-ca on the fly (maybe with caching of the fake-certs) and let mod_ssl operate with that fake-x509-certificate for this connection coming out of the mod_proxy_connect ?

CONNECT www.server.name -> mod_proxy_connect -> generate or get cached fake-x509-cert for www.server.name -> mod_ssl -> use fake-x509-cert -> mod_proxy -> HAVP virus scanning for decrypted SSL-Session -> let some parent-proxy do an encrypted SSL-Session to the real www.server.name

Regards,
Dirk
