Been looking at different pages on google about using SSL on Rails 3. I  
have  
been using ssl\_requirement prior to Rails 3. Wondering if  
ssl\_requirement  
will still work on Rails 3 (anyone used)? Or whether to go the way of  
the  
new router. If so, is there a way to tell it to just make everything  
ssl?

I have tried this code in my router but at lest in dev mode does not  
seem to  
work. Curious what people are doing in actuality. I like ssl\_requirement  
as  
it made things pretty transparent.

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do

class SslConstraint  
def self.matches?(request)  
request.ssl?  
end  
end

scope :constraints =\> SslConstraint do  
resources :user\_sessions  
resources :users  
resources :practices  
resources :password\_resets  
resources :home  
# Other SSL routes go in here  
end  
end

AND alternatively:

resources :users, :constraints =\> { :protocol =\> “https” }
