Yeah, problem should be solved, but nginx passenger(2.2.5) has some
issues. It's some how do not pass X_FORWARDED_PROTO to rails. I've
confirmed it with 'Rails.logger.error(env.inspect)'
Our ruby developer suggested workaround for this problem like adding
to config/environment.rb
class ActionController::Request
def ssl?
env['SERVER_PORT'] =~ /443/
end
end
