Question

I am using Rack::SSL in my Rails 3.1 application to enable SSL connections.

I’ve added gem 'rack-ssl' to my Gemfile and

require 'rack/ssl'
config.middleware.insert_before ActionDispatch::Static, Rack::SSL, :exclude => proc { |env| env['HTTPS'] != 'on' }

to my environment configuration.

Accessing a resource over HTTP works fine, while using HTTPS for the same resource results in

Any ideas what might cause this behaviour?

Answer 1

It looks like you’re using the https protocol for a http connection.
