I'm using it in a similar way to the SSL MiniHowTo:

# httpd.conf
# the SSL server is listening on 446

Listen 446

<VirtualHost _default_:446>
ErrorLog logs/error_log
TransferLog logs/access_log
DocumentRoot /home/search/web/html

# pass SSL requests through to backend
ProxyRequests on
ProxyPass / http://turbo10.com:44300/
ProxyPassReverse / https://turbo10.com:446/
mod_gzip_on No

# ssl stuff snipped
</VirtualHost>                                  


# this virtual host pre-compresses content for consumption
# by front end server
# here is the virtual host that should do the compression
# it inherits mod_gzip config from the main server

Listen 44300
<VirtualHost _default_:44300>
DocumentRoot /home/search/web/html
ServerName turbo10.com
Alias /cgi-bin/ /home/search/web/cgi-bin/
PerlModule Apache::Registry
<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
allow from all
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Hmmm ... I'm not setting it to Cache content however I am using mod_perl?

I wonder if there is a bug with mod_proxy + mod_perl?

1.3.22

Ok ... I'll have a look at that.

At the moment I'm trying to get it to work with Mod_Rewrite instead. Has anyone had any luck with this?

Any help is much appreciated.
