SABnzbget+sickbeard+couchpotato reverse proxy https-http

I don't believe you can reverse proxy a HTTPS connection to a HTTP destination - from what I understand HTTPS encrypts the entire communication so the HTTP host wouldn't be able to access any of it.

Apparently even in my company we have reverse proxy https -> http (inside lan) so it seems it doable.
Question remains if there are any limitations in Apache on ReadyNas.

Damn! It does work... I'm sure I have tried that before as I had a specific requirement for this but had it fail

I just setup my NAS to proxy to a linux box running a simple apache install and it works fine. Also with the app I was trying to proxy before. What's weird is the setup was still in my .conf files - just commented out and now restored. So I've no idea what I did wrong before

Sorry for the bad info

I will come back to this post once I get all the apps running on Nas. For now it's just theoretical discussion :)
One question remains. The problem with local ip being displayed while accessing for example http://mydomain.com/webshare instead redirecting to https://mydomain.com/webshare is on Apache site or router? Because on router I have forwarded external 80 to internal 443 (ip on nas).

Sorry I don't understand the question

I was referring to connecting to https://mydomain.com/something and redirecting that to an internal server at http://<internal_ip_address>. So making the internal server appear at the https address. This can be done via an Apache hack on your NAS

Sorry it seems to easy in my head since I know configuration of my lan. I will try to explain it better this time.
I'm taking about two things:

1.HTTP to HTTPS redirect:
- lets say I have domain bartek.com (actually there is one but it's not mine)
- in Frontview I have disabled HTTP and enabled HTTPS on standard 443 port
- on router I have configured two rules:
- all traffic that comes on WAN 443 redirect to LAN NAS IP 443
- all traffic that comes on WAN 80 redirect to LAN NAS IP 443
- now I go to https://bartek.com and I land in webshare https://bartek.com/shares
- but if I type http://bartek.com instead being redirected to https://bartek.com and then to https://bartek.com/shares I get error message saying try "bla bla try https://my Nas local IP
- if I disable rule redirecting 80 to 443 if you try HTTP the communication will be refused that it
What I want to achieve is when you try HTTP you will always get redirected to HTTPS
2.ReverseProxy
- SABnzb is running on port 8080 HTTPS
- SickBeard is running on port 8081 HTTP no SSL support
- CouchPotato is running on port 5000 HTTP no SSL support

So instead of redirecting few ports and accessing http://bartek.com:8080 I want to access those services http://bartek.com/sabnzb or http://bartek.com/sickbeard
But on top of that I want to use HTTPS for all services and that's why I asked about reverse proxy from HTTPS -> HTTP.

Both requirements can be implemented via Apache settings

For HTTP to HTTPS, modify the configuration for the share to use mod_rewrite as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

To implement proxying:

LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so

ProxyPass /path http://<target_url>
ProxyPassReverse /path http://<target_url>

Cheers, like I said I will get back to it once I do more important stuff :)

I got reverse proxy to work. Well kinda. I started with Squeezebox
I can access page via https://mydomain.com/sc and log in but page is not loading
Getting error "Requested URL /home was not found". Any ideas?

Unfortunately not all web apps work well with reverse proxying. There's some more info here that might help: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/C ... cumentRoot

Else - try setting up a subdomain and redirecting that to SBS as I know this works. eg if you setup the subdomain sbs.mydomain.com - your setup becomes:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName sbs.mydomain.com
  ProxyPass / http://localhost:9000/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9000/
  SSLEngine Off
</VirtualHost>
