mod_proxy with ActiveX

Hi,
I have a proxy with SSL that forward any request to a backend platform.
In this moment I have a problem if I'm trying to execute an activex on the backend platform.
I'm reading that the mod_proxy blocks any activex request because it don't trust for the system.
How I can do? I'm reading about mod_security.

Code:

# uname -a

Linux SRV01 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:42:39 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

# rpm -qa | grep http

httpd-manual-2.2.3-31.el5_4.2

system-config-httpd-1.3.3.3-1.el5

jakarta-commons-httpclient-3.0-7jpp.1

httpd-2.2.3-31.el5_4.2

httpd-devel-2.2.3-31.el5_4.2

# rpm -qa | grep ssl

openssl-devel-0.9.8e-7.el5

mod_ssl-2.2.3-31.el5_4.2

docbook-style-dsssl-1.79-4.1

openssl-0.9.8e-7.el

Many thanks for any suppose.
Cheers,

Hi expert.

I'm sorry for the reply but I'm working for some days with no solution :(

I have this scenario:

SCENARIO 1)
client i.e.7 --> proxy with SSL --> web server in http (I tried https, also)
wireshark output (plain text) in attach: file "with_proxy.txt"

I have apache-2.2.3, mod_proxy and mod_ssl. Below all details.

SCENARIO 2)
client i.e.7 --> web server in http (I tried https, also)
wireshark output (plain text) in attach: file "without_proxy.txt"

In Scenario 2 my browser is running properly the ACTIVEX. In the file in attach named

Code:

"GET /reports/TeeFromWeb.asp?teefile=2010420112359_2_teeFile HTTP/1.1 "

it working fine.
In Scenario 1 the browser don't running properly the activex.
If you see the attach the only difference id correlated to this GET: "HTTP/1.1 200 OK (GIF89a)" . I suppose that the client interprets the file as
per an image (GIF).
I don't undestand the reason.

Anyone can help me?
