[cobalt-users] problems with the HTTPS environment variable provi ded by Apache

[Juergen Weber <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

We are working on a PHP-based e-commerce platform which offers
secure connections via SSL encryption. As the application needs
to find out whether SSL is being used for the current connection,
it checks the HTTPS environment variable provided by Apache.

However, on our Cobalt machines, this mechanism does not seem
to work reliably: the HTTPS variable is always set to 'on',
regardless of whether SSL is active or not. On other Linux boxes,
it works perfectly. I think it has something to do with the
SiteSSL.cgi scpript.

Is there any Cobalt-specific issue which might cause this problem?

Thanks,
Juergen
