[Mediawiki-l] Problems with an SSL-Proxy

[ralf-buero at kruedewagen.de]

Question: Which software do you use for the SSL-Proxy ?

I was trying to run mediawiki with Apache mod_proxy and had/have 
similar problems. However, my approach is different, since I have 
multiple interfaces in my mediawiki server. I need to access 
mediawiki by the proxy but also from another interface (O&M) without 
proxy in between. Therefore, setting $wgServer to a fixed full 
qualified URL is not working for me. Even if you try to access 
mediawiki per remote using a ssh forwarding tunnel listening on a 
different port on client side (e.g. http://localhost:6400), this will 
fail, since the $wgServer is fixed on port 80 and all redirects point 
to port 80.

Cheers
Ralf
