<p>We need to set up a secure certificate on an Apache reverse proxy.
We've been advised that we need to use a virtual host directive.</p>

<p>I've looked these up in the O'Reilly book bit can't find any examples that pick up https specifically.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any examples of config snippets to do this?</p>

Not sure if this is what you're after, but I used something like the following in the past:
```
```
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    RewriteRule ^/whatever(.*)$       https://otherhost/whatever$1  [P]
</IfModule>
```
```
I needed to proxy secure content from another host, and that's what we ended up using. Works fine, and has for some time now. Does that sort of cover what you're looking for?
