I’m using pound as a reverse proxy for radiant, and although I use https  
to connect initially to radiant, after I log in to /admin, all URLs get  
changed to regular ‘http’. Is there some way to force radiant to keep  
using https URLs?

Here’s an example:

1. When I go to [https://dev.mysite.com/cms](https://dev.mysite.com/cms), I get our regular content  
site, fine.

2. When I go to [https://dev.mysite.com/cms/admin/login](https://dev.mysite.com/cms/admin/login), I can log in  
successfully to radiant’s admin interface, fine.

3. If I point to any one of the content pages I want to edit, like our  
“About Us” page at /cms/admin/pages/edit/6, the URL is will take me to  
is [http://dev.mysite.com/cms/admin/pages/edit/6](http://dev.mysite.com/cms/admin/pages/edit/6) (NOT https).

Is there a setting or some other means of fixing this? If it helps, this  
is the relevant portion of our pound.cfg:

Service  
HeadRequire “Host: ._[dev.mysite.com](http://dev.mysite.com)._”  
HeadRequire “Authorization: Basic ._"  
URL "._/cms.\*”

```
BackEnd
    Address 192.168.2.33
    Port 3030
  End
End

```

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
