I'm wondering if it is generally good or bad practice to proxy requests coming to Apache over SSL to Tomcat's non-SSL port 8080. That is currently how our servers are configured but we're experiencing some odd file download behavior and I've pretty much exhausted all other areas of possible problems.

  • (Probably more for ServerFault.) This sort of configuration usually assumes that the network between the Apache HTTPD front-end (with SSL) and the non-SSL back-end is secure and not open to outside requests. Is it not the case for you? – Bruno Nov 16 '11 at 02:00
  • They are running on the same server, so it is secure. I'm not concerned about that. More concerned with communication issues resulting in broken pipes.

  • And feel free to move this to a more appropriate place. – Gregg Nov 16 '11 at 03:42
