SSL Protocol Errors when not offloading

Sorry, it seems the forum doesn’t highlight links particularly well. Here’s the link again: How to set ssl verify client for specific domain name - #3 by lukastribus

My actual objective is to have the browser ask for certs only for certain URLs that I set it for. In the linked post, lukas suggests that the frontend that handles incoming traffic and the backends after that need to be in TCP mode. Does this mean, since several of my real servers are http only, that I can’t do that?
