Incorrect login/logout links with apache proxy

Question

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 76

I access gitblit through the apache proxy (apache works with SSL enabled):

# enable gitblit access
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

<proxy> 
    AddDefaultCharset off 
    Order deny,allow 
    Allow from all 
</proxy>

ProxyPass /gitblit http://localhost:8080/gitblit
ProxyPassReverse /gitblit http://localhost:8080/gitblit

All works fine except the login and logout in the gitblit page. When I press Login
or Logout link (or button) my browser goes to http://<host>/gitblit instead of https://<host>/gitblit.

Another links on the gitblit pages work fine.

Some of the gitblit.property sets:

web.mountParameters = false
server.httpBindInterface = localhost
server.httpPort = 8080
server.httpsPort = 0
server.contextPath = /gitblit

Of cause, I can use https in gitblit, but I catched some problems with it - my browser
shows the following message when I open gitblit page:

Error during SSL Handshake with remote server

It's an apache's proxy error. I was googling for some time and some user adviced me
to enable only localhost access to gitblit server and to use http protocol instead
of https one.

Related to this, the next release will have a built-in AJP connector.
