I am using an Apache 2.4 (Server A) proxy to expose an internal Apache 2.4 (Server B) proxy to a IIS website. The internet to server is via https.
Internet <= https => Apache (Server A) <= http => Apache (Server B) <= http => IIS
Calling the page directly internally IIS gives me the same result as calling it internally via Apache (Server B): | Code: | <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<Meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> |
Now calling that same page via SSL Apache (Server A) I am getting: | Code: | | <html xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head> |
The Meta Content-Type is stripped away. Also, the opening DOCTYPE tag is missing.
I am using on Server A:
| Code: | ProxyHTMLCharsetOut *
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding |
But I am getting strange characters.
Instead of It's I am getting It’s.
Also | Code: | | |
is producing | Code: | |       |
The Responce Headers:
| Code: | Cache-Control: private
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 00:52:33 GMT
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Vary: Accept-Encoding
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET |
Any help would be very much appreciated! |

I solved it! It had nothing to do with https.
But if you ask me it is an Apache Bug... no default will default to utf-8 instead of taking the value of the page proxy-ed.
Server (B) had no default charset defined. So when Server (B) was proxying page to Server (A) the page meta got stripped away.
After adding | Code: | | ProxyHTMLCharsetOut * # keeps original charset intact |
and loading the required modules on server (B) all is well now.
The IIS code is passed on untouched! |
