Graham, I'm interested in understanding what you just said. It seems like you are saying you can get the X-Forwarded-SSL environment variable to automatically be set, without needing the django middleware. Seems simple enough.
The middleware also handles redirects, so that someone accidentally going to http://mysite/credit_card_form/ will be redirected to https://.... I'm guessing that overriding the wsgi.url_scheme is meant to handle that, but I don't understand how.
