Reverse proxy issue - refresh problem

Hi,

Apache 2.0.5.4 in Reverse Proxy w/ SSL in front of a Merak 8.2.4 mail server. RP is in the DMZ, mail server on the private internal network.

I can connect to my webmail without problems, read email, send email, address books, calendars, etc - no problems. However, if I use the "Refresh" option for the webmail interface, upon refresh, webmail attempts to load a non-proxied page. At this point, SSL breaks down, nothing works, etc.

My RP config is very basic - only the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives are set - any suggestions on what other directives I might need for this config? Any other suggestions?

Thanks...
 
OK, more information from the Merak vendor - their "refresh" feature actually calls the url of the webpage rather than just invoking the built-in Refresh feature of the browser (which works fine).

Is this something that I can fix via the proxy - perhaps using URL rewrite? If so, any suggestions on the syntax? Basically, I'd need the rule to change the url to the url (that's my guess, anyway - new to Apache).

Any ideas? Thanks....
