Hello,

I’m working on a Rails app that needs to open an SSL connection to  
another server. We use mongrel+Apache 2, and the SSL Requirement plugin  
(installed via script/plugin install).

I have a method in a controller “marked” as SSL only, so the request  
gets redirected to [https://xxx.xx.com/controller/method](https://xxx.xx.com/controller/method)

But I can’t get Apache to launch ruby and run the request through my  
rails app. I’m sure the solution is easy.

Thanks in advance for anyone’s help.

Tim
