Hi,

maybe I'm blind, but I can't make it working. I've seen the hints to put

<cgi-environment>
  HTTPS ON
</cgi-environment>

into zope.conf. This works, but that doesn't distinguish beetwenn 
different ports. That ist, even plain http-request will return URLs 
with "https" als the protocol.

It is quite easy to start to different http-server on different ports, 
like

<http-server>
  address 80
</http-server>

<http-server>
  address 443
</http-server>

Now the missing piece is, to add the "HTTPS ON" Header only for request 
to port 443. As far as I understand, pound can't do this.

BTW, you cannot distinguish http and https requests in the regex for an 
UrlGroup, right?


Thanks, Sascha

We haven't looked closely at 2.7 yet, but here are a few possibilities
to try out:

- if 2.7 honours the "Https: On" header in requests (the way OWA does)
then it is easy to add that header only to HTTPS requests in Pound. See
the README for details.

- failing that I would look again at the 2.7 config - could it be that
the directives can be nested?

- as a last instance: start two ZEO clients, one for HTTP and one for
HTTPS. Run two Pound instances. Ugly, but guaranteed to work...

I won't even start on the possibility of using 2.6 with the existing
patch.[...]
