by Hello,
I'm looking for a software solution that can receive an HTTP request
and forwarding or proxying it in HTTPS.
For example : An application that makes https request but that can't
make https, will go through an Apache proxy that will encrypt the HTTP
request for the application and forward the request to the secure site
that will reply the same way.

| Application | - HTTP --> | Apache | - HTTPS -->| Secure |
| | | Proxy (?)| | Site |
|_____________| |__________| |________|
IT's a bit like a SSL accelerator but working on the opposite way.
Is it possible with Apache ? How is it possible ? mod_ssl + mod_proxy
?
Thank you for your help.
Gilles.
