We are having a problem with a new application being written in house whereby the application generates all redirects with http:// links instead of https:// links. The application has no idea that it is being front-ended by a SSL offloading load balancer. The solution I find out on the Internet is to have the load balancer insert some kind of header into each request to tell the application to generate all redirects with https:// instead of http. My question to the list: Is there a standard header recommended for this purpose, or does everyone make up their own? I see several references to this online. I believe Citrix recommends "SSL_OFFLOAD". Any suggestions?
