Hi Scott, We use Perl 5.10, Catalyst and Plack/PSGI for the back end servers. Pound is used for https and Perlbal for http front ends.
So Pound config is something like: User "nobody" Group "nobody" LogLevel 1 ListenHTTPS Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 443 Cert "/etc/pound/dev.pem" Ciphers "ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:HIGH:MEDIUM:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!eNUL:!EXP-DES-CBC-SHA:!EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:!EXP-RC4-MD5:!EXP-DES-CBC-SHA:!EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:!EXP-RC4-MD5" AddHeader "X-Secure-Connection: true" Service BackEnd # Send everything PSGI apps Address 127.0.0.1 Port 5555 End End End I haven't applied the DisableSSLv2 patch yet. But going from an https to any non secure page ends up in an infinite loop. Using Firefox or even Safari returns something like: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Since upgrading to pound 2.6 as discussed previously, we are having trouble re-directing a user from https to http. But if I downgrade pound back to 2.5 and refresh it works fine. I am not all familiar with how pound works. Do you have any recommendations on where to look first? Many thanks.

What type of certificate have you created? I would have another go at creating the PEM file myself and if you have paid for a certificate from a CA you may need the intermediate and root chains. This site is a good reference on the creation of the PEM files. http://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/pem-ssl-creation.htm 9 time out of 10 I would use the full PEM file listed right at the bottom of the page. ~Yours, Scott On 19 September 2012 10:11, Francoise Dehinbo <francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk<mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk><mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk<mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk>><mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk<mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk><mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk<mailto:francoise.dehi...@foxtons.co.uk>>>> wrote: Hi All, My OS is debian squeeze which have Pound version 2.5 installed.
