-------------------------------
Summary: SlingHttpServletRequest.getScheme() should support
offloaded SSL
Key: SLING-2706
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2706
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Engine
Reporter: Jörg Hoh
Currently SlingHttpServletRequest.getScheme() only supports "https", if the
HTTPS connection is terminated locally. But in many environments the https
connection is terminated at a frontend layer (either loadbalancer or
webserver), and then the requests are forwarded via http to sling (plus a
special header indicating that this request was once received via https). Then
.getScheme() won't return "https" anymore, but only "http".
I would like to extend the SlingHttpServletRequestImpl and implement a
.getScheme(), which considers a configurable HTTP header (e.g.
"X-frontend-ssl") of the request. If this value is set, then .getScheme() will
return "https".
I want to make this header name configurable via OSGI, but I haven't found any
good place yet. Any ideas?
