--- Comment #1 from David Cook <dc...@prosentient.com.au> ---
Also, if you have a reverse proxy in front of Apache and you proxy using HTTP
rather than HTTPS, Apache will generate fully qualified HTTP URLs for the
Redirect, which cause one of the two scenarios:

Scenario 1:
1) Client (C) requests HTTPS from Reverse Proxy (RP)
2) RP requests HTTP from Apache (A)
3) A sends HTTP redirect to RP
4) RP sends HTTP redirect to C
5) C requests HTTP from RP

Now you've just downgraded your HTTPS to HTTP by accident

Scenario 2 (Force HTTPS):
1) Client (C) requests HTTPS from Reverse Proxy (RP)
2) RP requests HTTP from Apache (A)
3) A sends HTTP redirect to RP
4) RP sends HTTP redirect to C
5) C requests HTTP to RP
6) RP sends HTTPS redirect to C

Now you've just redirected twice bouncing from HTTPS to HTTP to HTTPS for just
1 search.
