Since Heroku has integrated the piggybank\_ssl addon by default, trying:

heroku addons:add piggyback\_ssl  
or  
heroku addons:add ssl:piggyback

results in:  
! This add-on is now a standard Heroku platform feature.  
! Your apps can already use piggyback SSL.

But accessing: [mywebsite.herokuapp.com](http://mywebsite.herokuapp.com) results in:  
SSL is not enabled  
[mywebsite.herokuapp.com](http://mywebsite.herokuapp.com) does not have SSL enabled.

And I have the config.force\_ssl = true in my production.rb

So, any hint of what i am missing ???
