ns_conn location should give you the whole url including http:// or https://

I've run into similar problems where I had home-grown virtualhosting working with some DAV stuff I was working on. The only way I could figure out how to get the hostname was the same as yours. On the bright side, you could make a nice little routine that tries to look at ns_conn hostname (or whatever it is) and, only if it's blank, grab it from the headers.
I fiddled around with simulating requests from Telnet, and I think I determined that the hostname was set only when you did something like:
GET http://hostname/blah/blah HTTP/1.0
But modern HTTP/1.1 requests only set them in the headers:
GET /blah/blah HTTP/1.1 Host: hostname
I agree, I felt a little 'dirty' grabbing the hostname out of there myself.
I should note as a caveat that I'm on an older version of aolserver than everyone else (3.4ish or so), and I haven't touched most of that code in a long time, so things might be different now.

Hello,
I'm working on a site that uses SSL, and want to redirect users who access the site via http to https.
The way I've done this in the past is to check ns_conn driver, then redirect to a hardcoded URL.
However, I would like to be able to do this independent of the system aolserver is running on -- e.g., have it work in both development and production environments. Since requests in production may be coming
from a load balancer, using the machine's hostname won't work.
I've looked through the information available in ns_info and ns_conn, and the _only_ place I see the hostname that was actually in the original request is the Host header, available from ns_conn headers. I'd really rather not have to dip into the headers to get this.
I'm sure other people have solved the problem.. how it this typically done?
Thanks for any ideas :) Ross
