We’re trying rack-ssl-enforcer out on our Padrino-based project. It seems to work when configuring like so:


# File: app/app.rb
class MyApp < Padrino::Application
  # [...]
  configure :production do
    require 'rack-ssl-enforcer'
    use Rack::SslEnforcer
  end
end

We’re using it with Padrino with some success. It’s great that such a common need is really simple to set up. However, even after looking through the docs further, I’m surprised that I can request over HTTP and I don’t get redirected to HTTPS. I’ve yet to figure out the issue, but it seems to meet our needs just fine otherwise.

This is in response to Dan Mayer’s article Force all Sinatra traffic to https. I had started to comment, but his blog errored-out when submitting. Thanks for posting it, Dan!
