Thanks for the reply. It turns out that because I have the following permanent redirection, I don't need to add the request header.
NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> RedirectPermanent / https://emiliano #this server is only accessed internally </VirtualHost> However, my problem came from the fact that I left off the trailing slash from https://emiliano in the RedirectPermanent directive. Does anyone think it is still a good idea, from a performance standpoint, to include: RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO "https" even though the requests are forwarded by the RedirectPermanent directive? -jeremy On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 9:56 AM, Bill Siggelkow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This might help ...
