I was about to write a long post about how I couldn''t get
request.ssl?to work in Rails behind Pound and Mongrel, but then I figured it
out.
In your pound.cfg file, just add:
HTTPSHeaders 1 "X-Forwarded-Proto: https"
Assuming you''ve got Pound working correctly with SSL, this will
giveRails the header it''s looking for.
If there''s any interest in a Debian setup of Mongrel + Lighty
behindPound, I''d be happy to write down what I did. The only reasons
I''meven using Lighty is because I couldn''t figure out how to
add Expireheaders to static content in Mongrel and because I need PHP for Mint.
