I am having problems with the SSL Requirement plugin.  
It redirects to HTTPS no problem.

Problem is when I want it to leave HTTPS it stays!  
Have put the following in apache ssl config:

\<VirtualHost \*:443\>  
ServerName [codegarden.co.uk:443](http://codegarden.co.uk:443)  
ProxyPass / [http://localhost:4003/](http://localhost:4003/)  
ProxyPassReverse / [http://localhost:4003/](http://localhost:4003/)  
ProxyPreserveHost On  
RequestHeader set X\_FORWARDED\_PROTO ‘https’

SSLEngine on  
SSLProxyEngine On  
SSLCertificateFile /var/ssl/public\_ssl.cert  
SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/ssl/private\_ssl.key

where codegarden is my domain name.

I have searched and searched, found some similar problems but no  
solution so far!

any help much appreciated.

many thanks  
adam
