$CFG->sslproxy

The problem with this setting is that it requires your whole site to be HTTPS, ie. wwwroot must begin with "https://". This doesn't allow for having only partly HTTPS, like can be done with the $CFG->loginhttps feature. Moodle can be informed if a page is HTTPS or not by checking for a header set by the SSL termination device. So, it should be an advanced configuration option to enter a HTTP header which, if present, indicates the page was accessed under HTTPS. This would allow for mixed HTTP/HTTPS site with a SSL proxy.
