 * I am using a proxy server (www.my-example.com) to a localhost:9080 backend server.
 * My proxy configuration excerpt for both *.80 and *.443 files:
 *     ```
       ProxyPreserveHost On
       ProxyRequests Off
       ProxyPass / http://localhost:9080/firstsite/
       ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9080/firstsite/
       ```
   
 * I followed the WP Codex instructions on Administration over SSL. If I put FORCE_SSL_ADMIN
   to false, I can proxy to my backend server without any problems including Login
   and Administration pages. However, with FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is true, those non-SSL
   pages are fine but Login and Administration pages will throw an URL of:
    `https://
   www.my-example.com/firstsite/firstsite/wp-login.php` Notice the double “/firstsite/
   firstsite” in the URL. I even try removing the Administration over SSL and use
   the VerveSSL plugin, and it does the same thing when I turn on SSL. Also, with
   the following, it still doesn’t work: `ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9080/
   firstsite/firstsite/`

 * Just a note: I also tried entering
 *     ```
       https://www.my-example.com/wp-login.php
       ```
   
 * but the SSL routine with WordPress keeps rewriting it as:
 *     ```
       https://www.my-example.com/firstsite/firstsite/wp-login.php
       ```
