Hi, I'm hoping you can help me with something that I've been struggling with for a couple of days. I'm using mod_proxy to forward proxy requests between one network and another. I'm attempting to combine this with mod_rewrite to rewrite CONNECT requests for certain (SSL) servers. Note that I'm only trying to rewrite the HTTP connect request, not the SSL data itself (which is encrypted and I have no access to). What I'm hoping to achieve is that "CONNECT server.example.org:443 HTTP/1.0" gets rewritten to "CONNECT server.example.com:443 HTTP/1.0" - an upstream proxy then gets the request "CONNECT server.example.com:443 HTTP/1.0". Having played around with mod_rewrite for several hours I'm having trouble getting it working. I've enabled RewriteLogLevel 9 and I'm seeing log entries that indicate things are working as I intend: rewrite 'proxy:example.org:443' -> 'proxy:example.com:443' Though the upstream proxy is still seeing "CONNECT server.example.org:443" rather than the rewritten version. The relevant parts of my httpd.conf file are: ---- LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so ProxyRequests On ProxyVia On AllowConnect 443 <Proxy *> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Proxy> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^CONNECT$ RewriteRule ^(.*)server\.example\.org(.*)$ $1server.example.com$2 ---- I've noted that mod_rewrite has a [P] flag that forces the request to be proxied to another server, though this doesn't appear to work with https (SSL) servers - or am I missing something? Any advice would be gratefully received.
