In this How-To guide, we will show you how to set up a reverse proxy between your Apache webserver and your Tomcat server.
Prerequisites
So I switched ports and below is the configuration that eventually got my reverse proxy to https into apache and http to my Nexus repo. Nexus returns a webpage with http links that break getting the content for that page but I only need the SSL for a docker daemon which won't be asking for webpages. Using HttpClient library, you can send a HTTP request using a proxy. Follow the steps given below − Step 1 - Create a HttpHost object Instantiate the HttpHost class of the org.apache.http package by passing a string parameter representing the name of the proxy host, (from which you need the requests to be sent) to its constructor.
For this you are going to need the following
Tomcat | http://tomcat.apache.org/ | Tomcat application server. |
Apache proxy directives can be used in two contexts - server config and virtual host. The examples below will be in the server config context as well as pertain to Apache that has been compiled with the source package from http://httpd.apache.org.
To use the apache proxy directives you need to have the following modules loaded:
Those lines above need to be put in the Apache configuration file where other LoadModule lines are set, like for example, httpd.conf.
Next, in your configuration file add:
The directives above secures your Apache server and sets up the reverse proxy to the Tomcat server. In this example, the Tomcat server and Apache webserver are on the same machine and Tomcat is listening on the default port of 8080.
You can test to see that your proxy is working by accessing http://localhost/webapps. You should see the default Tomcat homepage. Note, that /webapps in the Location block, the ProxyPass and the ReverseProxyPass lines can be whatever you want. You can use /foo if you want and you can access Tomcat with http://localhost/foo.
Note Make sure you understand the security issues involved with proxies and set up access controls for your proxy configuration.

With a default Tomcat setup, you will have broken links in the Tomcat Manager page. Learn how to fix them with mod_proxy_html.
For more complete information on mod_proxy, see the Apache Docs.
For more complete information on reverse proxies, see Apache Tutor reverse proxies.
A reverse proxy accepts connections and then routes them to an appropriate backend. For example, if we have a Ruby application running on port 3000, we can configure a reverse proxy to accept connections on HTTP or HTTPS, which can then transparently proxy requests to the ruby backend.

- Network ACLs
- Logging
- URL rewriting
- Virtualhost configuration
- Easy SSL configuration
In this tutorial, we will learn how to configure a reverse proxy with HTTPS in Apache on CentOS Linux. We will not cover obtaining SSL certificates in this particular tutorial, but you can follow this tutorial on obtaining free SSL certificates on CentOS Linux with Let’s Encrypt.
We’ll use example application running on 127.0.0.1:3000 as the backend service that we want to reverse proxy requests to.

1. Firstly, ensure that Apache is installed
2. Define Apache reverse proxy configuration
For this config, we’ll use example virtualhost myapp.centosblog.com
3. Enable and start the Apache service
Your Apache reverse proxy should now be running! You can now access your application via https://myapp.centosblog.com/

This config demonstrates the simplest form of using Apache as a reverse proxy – a single backend service. The Apache reverse proxy module is quite powerful, and supports configuring multiple backends, clusters and load balancing algorithms. You can find out more about Apache’s reverse proxy configuration module from Apache’s Reverse Proxy Guide.
