Webfaction and ssl_requirement
SSL_requirement plugin does weird things on webfaction, because theydo not set X_FORWARDED_PROTO but rather set X_FORWARDED_SSL in the apache config. It is an easy fix, just find this line in your /vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/request.rb
@env[’HTTPS’] == ‘on’ || @env[’HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO’] == ‘https’
and add this to the end of it
|| @env[’HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL’] == ‘on’
The crazy behavior that this fixes is that the page will return this “The page isn’t redirecting properly: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. “
