Ssl_requirement plugin: how do I override ssl_required?

Rails
1

The ssl_requirement plugin indicates that I can override the
ssl_required? method. I want to use this facility to ignore the ssl
requirement declarations when RAILS_ENV is anything other than
‘production’.

My question is, where do I override this?

The relevant readme is:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/ssl_requirement/README

Also, does this plugin work with a WEBrick based development environment
running on port 3000? It looks like it is totally dropping the port
from the url.

TIA,
Scott

You could do it in your ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < ActiveRecord::Base
include SslRequirement

 alias :original_ssl_required? :ssl_required?
 def ssl_required?
   my_custom_condition_met? || original_ssl_required?
 end

end

The SSL redirects assume that https maps to port 443. You would need
to have a webrick running on port 3000 and port 443 (with port 443
being the secure port).
