Request.IsSecur eConnection Implementation for use with Apache

Hi All,

We've been using Request.IsSecur eConnection for some time to drop in
and out of SSL for various sections of our web application. We have
recently change server architecture though as we now accept all
requests to our FreeBSD Apache cluster which then proxies the requests
to the Windows Server.

As the proxy request is done over plaintext HTTP the
Request.IsSecur eConnection no longer works correctly.

Can anyone shed any light on how IsSecureConnect ion is implemented as
the suggested work around for Apache is to send through an additional
header in the proxy request. If IsSecureConnect ion uses headers, then
we could get Apache to forward the header it is looking for and
thereby mimic an unproxied (normal) request.

The alternative is to use a self signed cert on the windows box and
proxy over SSL directly, but this would produce maintainance problems
for us.

Regards,

Hi all, I'm wondering how the apache server and php interepreter handles request. If one request comes to apache server what is next procedure? if apache server passes the request to php interepreter and php interepreter handles? what if 10 requests comes at same time? apache server forks 10 php interepreter? or php interepreter makes 10 threads for each request?

Hi everybody, i'm experiencing crashing of the apache process when a mod_python handler access the properties "boundary" and "allowed_xmethods" of the request argument. This prevents the use of some interactive remote debuggers (such ActiveState's) that try to read the contents of the variables in the namespace and graphically present them in tree form. I reported the crash on win32 platform. I am using python 2.3.4, apache 2.0.47,...

Hello, note: This is for a Faculty web site that is undergoing a migration to an open source solution so my motives are legit. I need to build a relay from IIS handling URL_A to a PHP server (URL_B), get the content from the PHP server (if it exists) and then serve it out via IIS. If the content does not exist then I need to pass the request through to the IIS server and serve the pages from there. All of this needs to be done...

Hi, Does anyone know the actual implementation of Request.IsSecureConnection? We want to mimic an SSL request from a Apache proxy request so that we don't have to setup SSL on the windows box for the proxy request. At the moment, the windows box only sees plaintext HTTP requests, but we can send additional headers with the proxied request so that Request.IsSecureConnection may still work.

I'm converting a web app from CGI to FCGI. The application works fine under FCGI, but it's being reloaded for every request, which makes FCGI kind of pointless. I wrote a little FCGI app which prints when the program is loaded and when it gets a request. And indeed, the program gets reloaded for each HTTP request. Something is probably misconfigured. But what? I'm using Apache with "mod_fcgid", configured via Plesk. Plesk sets up...

My site uses lots of AJAX requests to PHP files which then retrieves data from MySQL. About 95% of the time the requests complete without issues. Every once in a while a request will hang for exactly 5 minutes then fail. It seems to be occuring on the client side. I can't re-create the issue. It just happens randomly. I think it eventally reaches the server (Apache) because I can see errors in the server log that certain POST/GET...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
