You are right, I was staring at the undefined $ua (just a typo) and not seeing it, thank you.
Still, this doesn't seem to work in my test setup, i.e. apache as proxy in front of puppet. I get a "..timeout specified has expired: proxy: prefetch request body failed to 127.0.0.1:18140" in apache's log.
GETs do work, just PUTs fail. Config is 
Listen 8140

SSL handshake does work, but the puppet process doesn't seem to receive any data (I'm tailing its debug log). Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or it is a problem in mod_proxy..
