 Hi

 Please do someone know if **varnish 3.0.2** support http redirection to
 https.

 In fact I have a varnish cache server behind a ssl terminator (an aws
 external loadbalancer on which I set a **http** and a **https** listener).

 I would like the varnish when it receives a http request, to redirect in
 https, and directly send back the response (resquest?) to the
 loadbalancer, and the loadbalancer will receive the response as a
 **https** request and forward it the varnih which will then forward it to
 its own backend.

 But it seems like my varnish cache don't redirect back to the loadbalancer
 but redirect the https request to its backend.

 However the backend behind the varnish I don't have a https backend, I get
 timemout when I issue a http request.
 When the client enter https in the browser it works. The problem is with
 http request.

 Here is my configuration :

 In **vcl_recv** :

       if (client.ip != "127.0.0.1" && server.port == 80 && req.http.host ~
 "^(?i)mydomain.com") {
             set req.http.x-redir = "https://" + req.http.host + req.url;
             #return(synth(850, "Moved permanently"));
             error 850 "Moved permanently";
     }
 In **vcl_error** :

        if (obj.status == 850) {
         set obj.http.Location = req.http.x-redir;
         set obj.status = 302;
         return (deliver);
     }

 Can someone help please. I can't upgrade my varnish version manually at
 the moment.

 Thanks
