Is an SSL Proxy possible?

[2gooder]

I've been using mod_proxy with apache for a while as a reverse proxy for an http (port 80) cluster and I'm pretty happy with it.

I now need to use this same cluster, but with an HTTPS frontend. For various reason that I wont get into (mostly due to multiple virtual host requirements and their incompatablity will https) I am thinking it would be perfect if I could just put another reverse proxy listening on port 443 that would proxy requests to port 80 of the cluster.

My first attempt was to just set up mod_proxy as I normally would, and just have apache listen on 443. This works just fine until a 302 Redirect or something similar is sent by the web cluster as it includes http (not https) in the redirection url. So the web browser changes from https to http.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this? I know its somewhat of a bizzard setup, but its about the only solution I can think of for my situation.

Thanks
