Oracle HTTP Server Administrator’s Guide

Oracle HTTP Server has a default content handler for dealing with errors. You can
use the ErrorDocument directive to override the defaults.

For HTTP, Oracle HTTP Server supports two types of virtual hosts: name-based and
IP-based. HTTPS supports only IP-based virtual hosts.

If you are using IP-based virtual hosts for HTTP, then the customer has a virtual
server listening on port 80 of a per-customer IP address. To provide HTTPS for
these customers, simply add an additional virtual host for each user listening on
port 4443 of that same per-customer IP address and use SSL directives, such as

 to specify the per-customer SSL characteristics. Note that each

customer can have their own wallet and server certificate.

If you are using name-based virtual hosts for HTTP, each customer has a virtual
server listening on port 80 of a shared IP address. To provide HTTPS for those
customers, you can add a single shared IP virtual host listening on port 4443 of the
shared IP address. All customers will share the SSL configuration, including the
wallet and ISP’s server certificate.

You can use the Oracle HTTP Server as a cache by setting the ProxyRequests to
“On” and CacheRoot directives.
