In Apache 2, you can set a header in the request with any environment variable (see RequestHeader directive). Enable SSL environment variables, then add a header with the HTTPS variable, which will tell you if the request is secure or not. other variables you may be interested on: http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_reference.html#ToC25 Cheers Daniel -- Teach Yourself Apache 2 -- http://apacheworld.org/ty24/
