[Instiki] mongrel_rails and apache for instiki

[Charlie Caroff]

Ok, I figured out the problem. I have a line in my httpd.conf

RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

I set that to

RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "http"

in my VirtualHost for my instiki and all became hunky dory.  I got the
clue from your RequestHeader    unset   Accept-Encoding line.

Also, I do have some minor redirecting issues --  I'm going to tackle
those now with your hints.  Thanks,

Charlie

I guess I probably need to set up a Virtual Host container inside  my httpd-vhosts.conf file, with the mongrel config, and the reverse proxy  config.  But when I try to do that, I get the same problem as without the  mongrel config -- every request tries to go through https.
