Apache HTTP Server
VirtualHost
A basic virtualhost looks like this
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName my_server.com ServerSignature Off DocumentRoot "/www/example2" </VirtualHost>
Compression
HTTPS Redirect
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName my_server.com ServerSignature Off RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R,L] RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] </VirtualHost>
Proxying
mod_proxy documentation
mod_proxy_wstunnel documentation
General proxying to another server.
Note that this can be another service on the same machine (localhost), same network, or another network entirely.
This can be useful if you have a some entry point which handles HTTPS for another service on the same PC which does not handle HTTPS.
