Why not just:

This is the way to go, I don't know what Sascha meant when he was talking about "2 rules".
However, he did have a very good point about SSL. If you want Apache to do the SSL encryption and decryption, then you need to set up mod_ssl, sort out the certificates, etc. I have this working on a few of my servers but I'm working offline so can't really have a look to see what you're doing wrong...
Yes, at least part of the problem is that I did not have SSL set up correctly, and I certainly didn't have certificates etc. I've done that now, so I'll try the Plone thing again.
Ok. I've now configured SSL correctly on my test machine, but am still getting errors. I suspect this is an apache misconfiguration, which is puzzling, since I have acess to a machine doing very similar things, also running Debian sarge, which is working. I'll list misc bits of info below, in the hope that this will help to narrow the problem. I'll also list the ssl config portion of my apache file at the bottom of this message for good measure. 1) Firstly, SSL is now working, certificates are offered and accepted, yada yada. 2) I can acess the page at http://127.0.0.1:9673/VirtualHostBase/https/%{HTTP_HOST}:443/test_plone/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_test_\plone$1 [L,P] fine, where I have to replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the machine in question. This means the Virtual Host Monster is working correctly, right? 3) The rewriting is actually happening, because the rewriting log shows ********************************************************************** client_ip_address - - [11/Nov/2005:18:51:56 --0500] [server_ip_address/sid#81565f0][rid#81ce540/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /test_plone/colophon_xhtml.png client_ip_address - - [11/Nov/2005:18:51:56 --0500] [server_ip_address/sid#81565f0][rid#81ce540/initial] (3) applying pattern '^/test_plone(.*)' to uri '/test_plone/colophon_xhtml.png' client_ip_address - - [11/Nov/2005:18:51:56 --0500] [server_ip_address/sid#81565f0][rid#81ce540/initial] (2) rewrite /test_plone/colophon_xhtml.png -> http://127.0.0.1:9673/VirtualHostBase/https/server_ip_address:443/test_plone... client_ip_address - - [11/Nov/2005:18:51:56 --0500] [server_ip_address/sid#81565f0][rid#81ce540/initial] (2) forcing proxy-throughput with http://127.0.0.1:9673/VirtualHostBase/https/server_ip_address:443/test_plone... client_ip_address - - [11/Nov/2005:18:51:56 --0500] [server_ip_address/sid#81565f0][rid#81ce540/initial] (1) go-ahead with proxy request proxy:http://127.0.0.1:9673/VirtualHostBase/https/server_ip_address:443/test_plone...

Setting LogLevel to debug does not seem to give any helpful information.

I've kept proxy.conf at the Debian defaults. Included below. In particular ProxyRequest are off, but another Debian machine I have access to works fine with that setting.
