Right. So what is the best way of letting the web server know whether the client is using HTTP or HTTPS ? We are currently thinking of adding some lines to the redirector to add "&ssl=1" to the URLs if the user is coming in via HTTPS, so that the application can know to generate an https:// url rather than http:// - does this sound like the best solution?
I would use the "Front-End-Https: On" header of Squid-3.. you should avoid the use of redirectors unless you absolutely need to as these only worsens the situation.
Hi Henrik
Why do redirectors worsen the situation?
We are on 2.5 so can't use Front-End-Https: unfortuntaly, but that sounds more elegant that what we're doing. We have gone ahead and are tacking a SSL=1 param on the end of the URLs if they were accessed with HTTPS, this is working well for us, if a bit ugly.
