Apache - http application with https

[wllmsgeraint]

Hi, Not sure if anyone out there can help me. Been hunting for ages and can't seem to make any progress. I have an application that refers to itself with http. I am reverse proxing to this, from a https source (terminated upstream). Initially it is linking to

https://app1.com

but the redirects to

http://app1.com/page2.

I don't allow http at the front end so the link is failing. Is there a way that I can force the proxy return to use https instead (albeit on port 80 until it hits the SSL terminator) as

https://app1.com/page2

will work. Any help gratefully appreciated

Can you post the applicable section of your conf file? You can change any hostnames or IP's for examples purposes.

Also, if you back end is an application where the actual hyperlinks are

http://,

then you need to change those to be https:// otherwise you will get the unwanted behavior you are talking about (Either through a configuration in the app, changing the base href, or manually if these links are absolute)

A lazy way to get around this would be a rewrite rule, but you will still need to be at least listening on port 80 for the request to even hit the server.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*)

https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
