How to configure mod_proxy as a forward proxy that accepts only HTTPS requests from specific client hosts
Issue
I wants to configure mod_proxy as a forward proxy server that accepts only HTTPS requests from only specific client hosts. How do I achieve it?
I tried the following configuration but it does not work:
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy http://*/*>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Proxy>
<Proxy https://*/*>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.0
</Proxy>
All HTTP requests from all clients (e.g. curl -v -k -x http://proxy-host:80/ http://http-server-host/) are denied as expected but all HTTPS request from all clients (e.g. curl -v -k -x http://proxy-host:80/ https://http-server-host/) are allowed.
