Thank you for your fast response, Jhon. My target https-server is a Synology DS211+ with Apache 2.2(Unix). Its VirtualHost config looks like: <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName myhost.mydomain.com ServerAlias internal.name.local DocumentRoot /somepath/not/used/at/all/ SSLEngine On SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3 # TLSv1 or higher SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests On ProxyBadHeader Ignore ProxyVia Full AllowCONNECT myInternalPort <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all </Proxy> <ProxyMatch (internal\.name\.local)> Order allow,deny Allow from all </ProxyMatch> LogLevel debug ErrorLog /logpath/sshserver-proxy_error_log CustomLog /logpath/sshserver-proxy_request_log combined </VirtualHost> The sTunnel client config on Win7 is: debug = 7 log = overwrite output = C:\userpath\stunnel\stunnel.log socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = yes [http-2-ssl] accept = 127.0.0.1:80 connect = proxy.gateway:gwPort protocol = connect protocolHost = myhost.mydomain.com:443 retry = yes config = Protocol:ALL config = Protocol:-SSLv3 Finally still remains my initial question: Can I wrap my http-proxy request into http over ssl (https) and receive it on an Apache https server? If 'yes', how? Best regards Hathor27 Btw: Hopefully better posted
