Hello, I am trying to configure my proxy to be able to accept HTTPS and forward requests to backend server which is in HTTP user-->(https://mydomain.com/abc)---------ssl: [reverse proxy]:http--------------->http://backend.ca/8082/abc I want to preserve the URL as https//mydomain.com/abc. I looked at my firewall logs and noticed 6 https sessions and one http. The http session is what is not working in my rewriting I presume. My goal is to preserve https protocol client side, although the backend is in http..... Also, when I use Preserverhost on when using https to http, it fails right away BUT https to https works good.
