I've got an Apache https (443) server in front of JBOSS 5.1 using Java 1.6, and this part finally works fine.

However, the Java does a connect to a payment gateway, and I'm trying to get this to go thru the Apache proxy also.

My goal is to have the Apache server handle all the TLS communication to the gateway.

a. if I leave out the proxy command, it just goes out without going thru the proxy

b. if I point the proxy command to the 443 server, I get an error that I'm trying to talk HTTP to HTTPS

c. if I point the proxy to port 80, the connect shows up in the apache logs, but not sure this is then going out as https over 443 or just over 80?

I've pasted some of the config lines below. Is this 'tunneling'?

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated, thanks

Tom
