-------------------------------------
[~amalhotr]: for all I know, [it does for Jetty
8|https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/blob/jetty-8/jetty-server/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/server/Response.java#L498].
Did you configure the SslFilter properly to listen to the correct HTTP header
+ value? Without the right header present in the request, the SslFilter will
never kick in, which might explain the behaviour you're seeing...
> [HTTP SSLFilter] Implement sendRedirect

> Key: FELIX-4420
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4420
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP Service
> Affects Versions: http-2.2.1, http-2.2.2

> Fix For: http-2.3.0, http-sslfilter-0.1.0

> The HTTP SSL Filter service implemented in FELIX-3693 supports revealing the
> actual protocol used by the client side browser by inspecting a request
> header and exposing the proper scheme through its ServletRequest.getScheme()
> implementation if the actual server is operated behind an SSL terminating
> proxy (i.e. client connects with HTTPS to proxy, proxy forwards request to
> server over plain HTTP)
> The HttpServletRequest.sendRedirect() method is declared to set the Location
> header to the absolute redirect URL which includes the scheme. In an SSL
> terminating proxy situation, the servlet container does not know about this
> fact and hence uses the actual server scheme (HTTP) for the redirect instead
> of the scheme used by client.
> To fix this situation the SSL filter response should implement the
> HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() method to use use the client side scheme
> as extracted from the request instead of the actual server request.
