I’m having some trouble with either the asset\_host feature or possible  
something to do with layout caching.

I have this in my environment/production.rb:

ActionController::Base.asset\_host = Proc.new do |source, request|  
if request.ssl?  
“https://#{request.host\_with\_port}”  
else  
“[http://asset](http://asset)#{source.hash % 4}.mydominname.com”  
end  
end

When I visit a page using HTTPS, some assets are pointing to a HTTPS  
url, and others to a HTTP url. It turns out the contents of the layout  
produces the HTTP urls, and the page action produces the HTTPS urls.

Perhaps the layout is being cached?? I need all assets pointing to  
HTTPS urls when the page is requested using HTTPS, and likewise, I  
need all assets pointing to HTTP urls when the page is requested using  
HTTP.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
