I have a query if we are using apache to proxy request using reverse proxy from app to apache on http and then apache making https request to a server and this server is returning SSL back to apache in response can apache decrypt the response and send back http to app. First, if you don't need to run a proxy server, disable modproxy by commenting out its LoadModule line or setting ProxyRequests off in httpd.conf. Remember that disabling ProxyRequests does not prevent you from using a reverse proxy with the ProxyPass directive. Proxy Protection cernhttpd 2.17 and newer provide a mechanism to protect the proxy against unauthorized use (in fact, the machinery behind this is the same that is used to set up document protection when running as a regular HTTP server). Windows refers to Apache as 'httpd', with the configuration file stored in the location conf httpd.conf. Enable modproxy and supporting modules in the Apache httpd.conf configuration file by uncommenting (i.e. Remove the leading '#') the following lines if necessary.

2. Apache Httpd Proxy

4. Proxy Http Version
5. Proxy Http To Https

HTTP Daemon is a software program that runs in the background of a web server and waits for the incoming server requests. The daemon answers the request automatically and serves the hypertext and multimedia documents over the Internet using HTTP.

HTTPd stands for (i.e. Web server).

Some commonly used implementations are:

• BusyBox httpd
• CERN HTTPd HTTP server
• Cherokee HTTP server
• Hiawatha HTTP server with Reverse proxy functionality
• Lighttpd HTTP server
• NCSA HTTPd HTTP server
• Nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server
• OpenBSD's httpd (since OpenBSD 5.6)
• The abstract Web server concept
• Thttpd HTTP server
• TUX web server aka kHTTPd

This is the simplest way to re-route requests from the Apache HTTPd to the Geronimo servers (or any other server you might have). To use this feature, you need to enable some specific modules and add a few lines to the HTTPd configuration. These steps are described as follows:

Apache Httpd Proxy

1. Open the httpd.conf file located in the <httpd_home>conf directory.
2. Look for the following LoadModule directives and uncomment them by removing the # at the beginning of the line.
3. At the bottom of the httpd.conf file, add the following lines to enable the re-routing.

Proxyset Lbmethod

You might need to add more ProxyPass directives depending on the requirements of your application. The last ProxyPassreverse directive captures the responses from the Geronimo server and masks the URL as it would be directly responded by the Apache HTTPd, hiding the identity or location of the Geronimo server.

In this example, the console has been enabled just for demonstration purposes. In a production environment, you do not want to have the console accessible from the other network (normally the Internet). Having the console accessible represents a big security exposure.

Proxy Http Version

The rule is that everything should have restricted access. Normally, a firewall would be placed in between the HTTP and the application server (depending on the topology) and you should map just the minimum resources necessary to have your application working from the other side.

If both HTTPd and Geronimo servers are on the same machine, you can use localhost for the redirection. When the servers are located on different machines, you would have to specify the URL for the Geronimo server.

As the result of this configuration, when you point your browser to http://locahost/console, the request will be redirected to http://localhost:8080/console. This option allows you to re-route URLs and ports.

Proxy Http To Https

Note: If you prefer to use mod_proxy_ajp rather than mod_proxy_http, you need to load proxy_ajp_module in httpd.conf and change the routing port to 8009(default) as follows:
