Proxy RPC through apache (port 443) while keeping SSL webpage too

1

I run a RPC daemon in port 443 which talks in JSON format, I'd like to keep it in that port as to prevent being blocked by firewalls.

The server also has a HTTP webpage (port 80) which I'd like to upgrade to use SSL..

Here lies the problem, since you can't run 2 services under the same TCP port, is it possible to filter traffic just using apache and proxy it to the service? if so, how would I setup apache to identify the JSON data?

Example raw RPC request:

{"method":"login","params":{"login":"admin","pass":"password","agent":"testing"},"id":1}

Thanks.

John

You can still do TLS/SSL over port 80, right? – mtak – 2018-01-16T08:27:36.780

@mtak I wouldn't like to go off standard. that would require people to use my site at https://example.com:80 wich looks horrible – John – 2018-01-17T00:36:10.187

That'd probably be good to mention in your question then ;) – mtak – 2018-01-17T07:59:53.830
