# The apache server is SSL-enabled, passes requests that hit /thesubdir to localhost:8080 over http

    ProxyPreserveHost On

eliom-foo.conf

<!-- The ocsigen server runs on 8080, plain http. 
     We wouldn't need any specific changes except eliom adds this <base href="http://$hostname"> element, which
     we can override to "https://$hostname/thesubdir" by setting defaultprotocol and <site>: -->

    <host defaultprotocol="https" hostfilter="*">
     <site path="thesubdir">
      <static dir="/usr/local/var/www/foo/static" />
      <static dir="/usr/local/var/www/foo/eliom" />
      <eliommodule module="/usr/local/lib/foo/foo.cma"/>
      <eliom/>
     </site>
    </host>
