Ok, some quick background. The server I have transmission 2.50 installed on is a remote server that i wish to access using https (in college im restricted to access traffic only on port 80 and 443, so it must be one of these). There are other sites running on the server so I cannot just hand over one of those ports to transmission, and I want my connection to be secure. So here's what I did:
Install transmission-daemon. Setup the rpc so that it does not require authentication, and whitelist is on with only 127.0.0.1 (localhost ofc) and make sure port 9091 is blocked on the firewall.
setup a https vhost in apache2 for the transmission web interface.
And dump the files linked below to the document root or whatever subfolder you'd like... then modify config.php in that folder to your liking. the password is stored as a sha1 hash, so if you want to replace it and don't know how to encrypt in sha1 just go to this link to do so: http://www.tools4noobs.com/online_php_functions/sha1/.
The default username is: world
The default password is: hello
Link to apache files: https://rapidshare.com/files/2163675701/files.tar.gz
This is something I quickly threw together in the last 6 hours so any feed back would be appreciated. This should be a good start for anyone trying to do the same.
Hack to get webinterface running on apache2 with php5

Why would anyone need this?
You can do the same in Apache with a simple redirection. And its been done with other Web servers in a similar way, just search the forum. Actually the term is "reverse proxy" not redirection.
