[Labs-l] Redirecting from http to https with lighthttp

[Dan Michael O. Heggø]

Aha... so then there is no way to know if the connection to the proxy is
secure or not? Would it be possible to configure the proxy server to
add HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PORT or something else that
could be checked in php?
