Problem with 'Host' http header when using ssl

[itpp2012]

With such backends you need to tell the backend that the origin is https,
otherwise it will 'think' its serving http since it is unaware of a proxy.

ea.

    <!-- This connector is for normal HTTP connections -->
    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               proxyPort="443"
               proxyName="domain.nl"

You might get away with a static set host value.
