Torsten is the author of this module, so he can explain it in more detail, but it looks like it can do part of what you need: https://metacpan.org/module/Apache2::ModSSL use Apache2::ModSSL; my $c=$r->connection; if( $c->is_https ) > > I mean : > The client (browser e.g.) gets a URL "http://host.x.y/path1/path2..";, and > - translates host.x.y to an IP > - makes a connection to that IP (and port) > - sends a request like : > GET /path1/path2..
