I'm not sure off the top of my head exactly what you mean here.
Maybe I'm just being dense. Sorry.
I do know that on our server we're using the standard port 80 for http,
and 443 for https, so I check for secure connections in my
PostReadRequestHandler with
return OK if 443 == $r->get_server_port;
I don't know if that's the sort of workaround you meant -- in our case,
we know what ports are what, and this works before the system has to
bother with access/authen/authorization handlers, path translation, or
most anything else.
