Hey, I''m trying to use apache to proxy requests through to one rails instance (lighttpd) for both secure and insecure pages. I want to do this by applying filters (a nice 20 line solution) that look at the protocol and redirect the user where appreciate (i.e. http://domain/login -> https://domain/login). When I try this the redirect happens...and happens...and happens; Apache handles the https request, but rails decides that it''s still a plain old http request and redirects again. What''s interesting is that it gets the SERVER_NAME from apache (it''s in the logs), so it''s getting the URL but not the protocol. I understand that from rails'' perspective this probably does look like an http request, it after all fields an http request even if apache is securing the network connection. Even so, any ideas on how to get around this? How are other folks handling showing users secure pages for things like logins, password changes, viewing sensitive docs, etc and http for everything else?
