Hi Anne,

Next, in your application, check for the "X-SSL-Request: 1" header and have
it redirect to https (you can do that in a simple HTTP root handler if you
are running ASP.NET) when the header is not present or has an invalid value.

Someone else mentioned that you may have embedded links to "http://xxx";,
which is likely the case here. Do a global search/replace on
"http://mydomain"; (ABACRE Software has a good tool for this that runs on
windows).

Pound does not do the full-scale mod_rewrite capability that you are looking
for. It has some miscellaneous commands that can get you going for simple
rewrites.

Otherwise, you could bind port 80 on a local apache install and have it
mod_rewrite to HTTPS.

Maybe the backend return a Location: header with http?
If so, it can be solved with RewriteLocation option
