Rails properly recognizes https requests (request.ssl? == true) and  
ssl\_requirement properly calls redirect\_to ‘http’ + …

In production.log I have:  
“Redirected to [http://www.peroniitaly.pl](http://www.peroniitaly.pl)”

But in the HTTP response header there is:  
Location: [https://www.peroniitaly.pl/](https://www.peroniitaly.pl/)

…why? Any ideas?

The end result is endless redirect.

I have this exact same problem…redirecting from http to https works  
fine, but I can’t get back to http. The logs show the app correctly  
redirecting to http but in fact it ends up hitting https…I am using  
pound set up this way:

HeadRemove “X-SSL-._"  
AddHeader “X-SSL-Request: 1”  
HeadRemove "X-Client-Verify._”  
HeadRemove “X-Forwarded-Proto”  
AddHeader “X-Forwarded-Proto: https”

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
