Mongrel users - Aug 2006 - Apache & SSL - Redirects going to http:// not https://

Hi guys,

I have a (hopefully) quick question about ssl and mongrel.  We are  
using Apache2 and the proxy balancer module to control a pack of  
mongrels.  This is a brand new setup, as our server had been using  
Apache 1.3 with no mongrels at all. The speed boost has been great,  
and we are not getting any of the previous errors that were caused by  
FastCGI.  I am having a strange problem nonetheless.

At seemingly random times, redirect_to tags are sending the user to  
http:// instead of https://, and since :80 is shut off, they are  
seeing ugly errors.  In my development.log I see the normal lines I  
used to see when my process finished, but it''s clearly redirecting  
to :80.

That should definitely be https, and when I put the s in manually, it  
works fine.  Is there some mongrel (or apache) config property I need  
that I don''t have?

This post looks relevant (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel- 
users/2006-May/000185.html), so I''m going to play with it a little  
bit.  If anyone has any suggestions, I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bryan

I''m currently figuring out how to install the mod_headers apache  
module, but I think I''m on the right track now.  Hurray for archives :)
