Hello all, I am trying to put together a server setup for mod_perl, ssl and static images. Here is my scenario:
The application I have written has taken off, so I am converting it to mod_perl (not a problem, I have most of the code ported to modules on a test machine and find mod_perl to be not very difficult to work with) I have several image servers that serve small to large jpeg files. The application is now sending mixed content (https for the dynamic response and http for the images) For simply serving images it is fine to have the client use the http image servers directly, but when viewed through the application, I would like to figure a way to have them served through the ssl line. The application server now has one Apache BEN-SSL server running and one plain server running, both server dynamic mod_cgi scripts depending on the need for ssl. (I realize this needs to change, I just thought I would include for reference) Do I need to have a proxy server running ssl to route requests for mod_perl and images to? Can this server directly serve static objects, such as html pages and other ancillary images that reside on the application server or do I need a third running to do this? I have a vague idea of how to do this, I just wanted to check and see how the seasoned guys have set these types of servers up. Thanks for any insight, Jordan
