I have not used the Apache Proxy directives and I am assuming all that
stuff is working for HTTP mode.

You have "RewriteOptions Inherit"  but who is doing the Rewrite for
HTTP to HTTPS?

I don't see any HTTP > HTTPS rewrite in the above.

Snippet from my HTTP-site.conf file.
Ensure mod_rewrite mod_ssl etc are enabled.

################  site file for port 80 ################
### Rewrite HTTP to HTTPS
        RewriteEngine On

        # This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS

        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
        RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

################  site file for port 80 ################

There are several variations on this, use your fav search engine if
the above does not work for you.
