I've just started with pound and have created the following pound.cfg file:

ListenHTTP 11.22.33.44,80
ListenHTTPS 11.22.33.44,443 /path/to/my/pemfile.pem
LogLevel 0

UrlGroup ".*"
BackEnd 11.22.33.44,8088,1
EndGroup

where www.domain.com == 11.22.33.44

It all works except now when I have a URL such as:

    https://www.domain.com/index.html

I don't get the security "lock" icon at the bottom on the browser window.  This
icon is important so that people can know that the page is secure.

My apache (httpd-2.0.52 on RedHat 9.0 Linux) is listening on port 8088 and has
a VirtualHost directive for www.domain.com.  I have apache running with mpm
code that enables me to have each VirtualHost directive specify the
username/groupname that should be used (similar to the perchild mpm, but a
custom solution that avoids the problems in perchild).  This setting of uid/gid
only works for http requests, not https requests.  So, when I found out that
pound would translate from https to http, I was excited that this would solve
the problem of setting username/groupname even for https requests.  And, in
fact, it does.  The only consequence, so far as I can see, is that I don't see
the lock icon at the bottom of the browser window.

It really is a big deal to see this lock icon, so I'm hoping someone can say
how to make the lock icon appear!

Thanks,

It could be that your browser cannot negotiate a common cipher with Pound - 
used to happen quite often with older versions of IE. Try adding the cipher
