Difficult. We've got to keep in mind, that it is very easy to have
virtual hosts for http, but not for https. I can very well imagine

What OS mechanism in the case of Linux/Unix? I have the *_proxy
environment variables set for my *personal* environment, but I prefer
if the httpd doesn't have them.
