I appreciate if anyone could help me to solve my problem. I already did  
this…

[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToEnableSSL](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToEnableSSL)

And this…  
[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/plugins/ssl\_requirement/README](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/plugins/ssl_requirement/README)

as a matter of fact the request is redirected to https … with this…

# force SSL for all actions in a controller or for the entire

application  
def ssl\_required?  
true  
end

But the aplication won´t appear. I mean it show what is on public\_html  
… Am I missing a link or something else?

I already try using this…

# Adds a filter that requires ssl.

# def self.require\_ssl(options={})

# before\_filter :require\_ssl

# end

#def require\_ssl

# env[‘HTTPS’] = ‘on’ unless (@request.ssl? or local\_request?)

#end

#def require\_ssl

# if !@request.ssl?

# redirect\_to :protocol =\> “https://”

# end

#end

#def require\_ssl

# if ENV[‘RAILS\_SSL’] == ‘on’

# request.env[‘HTTPS’] = ‘on’

# redirect\_to :protocol =\> “https://”

# raise SSLRequiredError if !request.ssl?

# end

#end

But non of these makes redirection…only def ssl\_required? makes  
redirection…

https is working… when I take out everything mentioning SSL … the  
application works fine over http.

Any ideas?
