Question

I remember seeing this somewhere online but I know have trouble finding information about it. In Rails 3.1, I have a method at the beginning of a session controller, force_ssl, I only want it called in a production environment, how do I do that?

To clarify, the code looks something like this

class SessionsController < ApplicationController
    force_ssl
end

Answer 1

Rails.env.production? returns true if the current environment is ‘production’. More generally, Rails.env.somestring? returns true if Rails.env == "somestring". From there you should be good.

** EDIT **

Well actually, there’s an easier way to use ssl only in production. Check out this article
