Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-2706:
------------------------------------------
I don't think we should do such a thing in Sling (and I am against doing it in
the Sling Engine).
Actually the Felix project has a SSL Filter, which exactly does this. See
FELIX-3693 for details.
> SlingHttpServletRequest.getScheme() should support offloaded SSL

> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Engine

> 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?
