In my case we turned the entire site into https, so that solved my problem.
(Did I mention that I'm not a sysadmin :) where is the flaw in this logic? Add proxy pass for /admin /accounts in the *:80 record to the https urls. Add the X_FORWARDED_PROTO to the :443 record. My thought is that if rails produces a /admin or /accounts url with http then the proxypasses will convert it to https. Unless your point is that once in https there is no way to return to http? So you would end up putting proxypasses in https to point /articles etc to http. -Linda On 9/21/06 4:23 PM, "Scott Laird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's part of the issue, but it'd be nice if *every* link to /admin > (or /accounts) used https while non-authenticated links still use > http.
