You could circumvent that issue by terminating your HTTPS sessions on
the reverse proxy itself (and talk HTTP to the application server). Some
applications won't work that way, but modern ones (and even Outlook Web
Access) can use a HTTPS-front-end. The problem exists within
applications with hard-coded links.
