phoebus DataBrowser - ArchiverAppliance data retrieval through SSL-only reverse-proxy

[Thomas Birke via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

    Hi all,
    
    internally, all our archiver appliances are accessible via
    http-protocol and pbraw-URLs are mapped to 'http' protocol hardcoded
    in e.g. the phoebus/DataBrowser.
    For many years, we provided external access for data-retrieval to
    these through a simple http reverse proxy. 
    
    My problem is, that now our official reverse-proxy server will only
    provide SSL-secured access via https-links - which is absolutely
    understandable, but breaks data access for now.
    
    Is there already a way (or workaround or plan) to enable access via
    https-protocol?
    Probably something like 'pbraws' as the protocol specifier?
    
    The same problem exists for accessing old ChannelArchiver
    ArchiveDataServer and xnds-URLs, but I can see, that noone really
    wants to put effort into this anymore... 
    
    All the best and stay healthy,
    Thomas
