 Can  you please anybody help me in this?

See: perldoc Apache2::RequestRec

   # HTTP protocol version number
   $proto_num = $r-proto_num();

There are Apache2::ModSSL and Apache::SSLLookup on CPAN in case you need 
that information in a request phase prior to the ResponseHandler. 
Mod_ssl can be configured to export SSL information as environment 
variables. Those can be looked up in a ResponseHandler via 
$r-subprocess_env.

Further, if you are unable to install an XS module (precompiled 
mod_perl+apache on windows without C compiler for instance) and you 
need SSL information prior to the response phase you can issue a 
subrequest to get it. Not the fastest way but it works. I have 
described that technique in a previous mail to the list this or last 
year.

I had the same problem but the machine serving the request had a reverse 
proxy in front of it.  I used the following to inject a header on the proxy:


   SetEnv SCHEME http
   SetEnv HOST localhost
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
   RewriteRule ^(.*) $1 [E=SCHEME:https]
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$
   RewriteRule ^(.*) $1 [PT,E=HOST:%1]
   RequestHeader set X-Absolute-URI %{SCHEME}e://%{HOST}e

That gives you a header containing the protocol and host.

hth,
John

Yes, I think that should work as well without the reverse proxy. 
Mod_rewrite talks directly to mod_ssl.
