I'm using the INSSL appliance to server as a gateway and I'm using the SSL proxy feature to forward SSL requests to apache on another appliance. This web appliance is also running Ruby and Mongrel and I need a way to determine that the request from INSSL is standard or SSL.

Are additional headers sent in those requests? Looking at the debug logs, I don't see them.

Thanks.

Never mind, should have looked in the INSSL appliance doc first. The answer is:

X-SSL-Request: 1 Marks that the client is connection over HTTPS. It is up to the back-end application to use this header to distinguish between HTTP and HTTPS connections
