I need your help. I'm having problems with reverse proxy rewriting to https:
I have an alfresco app running on top of tomcat and as a front and an Apache server - it's site-enabled looks like that:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName alfresco
    JkMount /* ajp13_worker
    <Directory /var/www/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride None
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
    ServerSignature Off
    </VirtualHost>
I also have a reverse proxy server running on second machine and i want it to rewrite queries to https. It's site-enabled looks like that:
    <VirtualHost 192.168.251.50:80>
    ServerName alfresco
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) https://alfresco/  [R]
    LogLevel warn
    ErrorLog  /var/log/apache2/alfresco-80-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/alfresco-80-access.log combined
    ServerSignature Off
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost 192.168.251.50:443>
    ServerName alfresco
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    SSLEngine On
    SSLProxyEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile      /etc/ssl/certs/alfresco.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/ssl/private/alfresco.key
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*"  nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                                    downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    <Proxy *>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    ProxyPass /alfresco       http://192.168.251.50:8080/alfresco
    ProxyPassReverse /alfresco http://192.168.251.50:8080/alfresco
    LogLevel warn
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/alfresco-443-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/alfresco-443-access.log combined
    ServerSignature Off
    </VirtualHost>
Now, ProxyPass works, when I go to alfresco/alfrsco in a browser application opens, but rewriting to https doesn't work.
Plese help.
Regards
