[stunnel-users] stunnel - haproxy setup with protocol =?utf-8?Q?=3D_?=proxy

Thu Jun 7 12:45:57 CEST 2012

I actually got it to work, mostly. I did not use the TProxy flag or apply firewall rules for the transparent proxy. I am doing this in AWS EC2 and wanted to avoid that. My latest haproxy.cfg is at the bottom…  

It basically came down to pouring over all of the logs, including apache2. What I found was that even though I am connecting to port 81 to haproxy from stunnel, haproxy is connecting to my apache2 server on 443. And since I had SSL loaded on 443, it gave the bad gateway. So I just removed mod_ssl and allow the connection on port 443, and it works fine. I am having a strange issue, though, where apache2 is reporting the port as 80, even though it is 443. I even force to use other ports, like 10443, and apache2 is reporting 80.

I have added "setenv HTTPS on" to the vhost 443 setup so that my apps that need to detect https will still work. I am going to need to resolve the apache port problem though. I am trying to make this transparent to any code (php) I may have on my servers. So they may check for $_SERVER['HTTPS'] or port to detect SSL, and i want that to all still work, without having to change code. I have solved the HTTPS detection, but need to resolve this port issue, then I am good.
