HTTP to HTTPS conversion proxy

I use an RSS reader app on my iPhone which only supports HTTP rss links (FeeddlerRSS) but not HTTPS. Apart from that, is does what i want it to do, so i didn’t feel like hunting for a new app which also supports HTTPS. But there is a site which i follow and they changed completely to HTTPS (https://www.security.nl) including the RSS feeds, so i couldn’t read their RSS feed with Feeddler anymore.
But it turns out that apache can do the conversion for me quite easily. I just needed to add a name-based host to my apache config and use the “ProxyPass” config directive to handle to conversion from HTTP to HTTPS.
And of course you need to enable the proxy_module

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so

The config for the named-host looks like this:

<virtualhost *:80>
        ServerName aaaaa.bbbbb.nl
        SSLProxyEngine On

        ProxyPass  / https://www.security.nl/rss/headlines.xml

</virtualhost>
