== Welcome to drh-test-ssl

This is a simple RoR 3.0.x app to test SSL with Heroku.

Note: It only enables SSL for 'production'.

Don't forget to run this from the folder for your app (or add via Heroku Web UI):

    heroku addons:add piggyback_ssl


The other key element is to edit your "application_controller.rb" file to include the following 'force_app_ssl' code:

    class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
      ...

      before_filter :force_app_ssl
      def force_app_ssl
        if (Rails.env == 'production')
          if (!request.ssl?)
            redirect_to "https://" + request.host + request.request_uri
            flash.keep
          end
        end
        return false
      end

      ...
    end
