Rails - Jan 2006 - ssl_requirement plugin: how do I override ssl_required?

The ssl_requirement plugin indicates that I can override the 
ssl_required? method.  I want to use this facility to ignore the ssl 
requirement declarations when RAILS_ENV is anything other than 
''production''.

My question is, where do I override this?

The relevant readme is:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/ssl_requirement/README

Also, does this plugin work with a WEBrick based development environment 
running on port 3000?  It looks like it is totally dropping the port 
from the url.

TIA,
Scott

You could do it in your ApplicationController:

   class ApplicationController < ActiveRecord::Base
     include SslRequirement

     alias :original_ssl_required? :ssl_required?
     def ssl_required?
       my_custom_condition_met? || original_ssl_required?
     end
   end

The SSL redirects assume that https maps to port 443. You would need  
to have a webrick running on port 3000 and port 443 (with port 443  
being the secure port).
