Topic: http <--> https

[faithless]

Hello,
I would like to know how I can do to automatically manage the transaction between http and https on my web site.
I have on my httpd.conf two virtual hosts the first one configured for le port 80

<VirtualHost _default_ :80>

…

</ VirtualHost>

And the second one for the port 443

<VirtualHost _default_ :443>

…

</ VirtualHost>

They are both configured to send connections to the same location on the server. I managed to have the http connection to my web site as http://www.mywebsite.com or as https://www.mywebsite.com .
The problem is that I would like to have only some web pages using https and not the whole web site. But because all my web pages are on the same folder I can not have the 443 virtual host redirecting connection to a different location. Is it possible to manage the transfer with mod_rewrite? If it is possible how can I do it?
Is it possible even if Apache is configured as a reverse proxy ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

of cause you can run apache as reverse proxy. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html

If there are further questions. You can ask again!

don't worry for me
i already have the apache server as a reverse proxy with the mod_proxy module what i can not manage to have is my web application having the most of its pages in standard http and the other ones in https. i thing there is a way to do it with the mod_rewrite but i don't know how to use it.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I found a solution with mod_proxy_html with url rewriting. The config is a bot tricky, so here an example
