Apache Proxy

SSL Handshake with remote server favicon.ico

While trying to set an ssl proxy, I ran into an issue where the ssl handshake would not work with the stupid website icon.

Error during SSL Handshake with remote server returned by /favicon.ico

In this case it was ok to ignore the authenticity of the connection, restricted use case and something that I would normally not do

SSLProxyEngine On
SSLProxyVerify none
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
