Can I use Apache as a reverse proxy from non-https ReactJS application to a https url?












0















The idea is as follows; I have a ReactJS application that communicates with another application (Oracle Hyperion). The problem with the communication part is that the Hyperion server does not support CORS. To deal with this problem, I am using Apache as a reverse proxy, and adding the CORS header for all responses.



All what I tested before was done on two non-secured servers, both urls were http.



Now I need to move to production, where the Hyperion application is already using https, and my React app will be secured soon. The communication is not working, and I am getting 500 Internal Error for requests.



My question is: is this the expected behavior when trying to use the reverse proxy between non-secure and secure servers? Do I need to do anything other that get a certificate and use port 443 for the React app? Also is there a temporary fix to get this working?



Here is a sample of the apache configuration I am using



<Location "/api/forms/approved">
ProxyPass "http://URL:Port/HyperionPlanning/rest/11.1.2.4/applications/MOF_BT/dataexport/formName"
Header add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" "*"
</Location>


For production one, I replace http with https, and the URL:Port part with the serverName.



<Location "/api/forms/approved">
ProxyPass "https://myservername/HyperionPlanning/rest/11.1.2.4/applications/MOF_BT/formName"
Header add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" "*"
</Location>
