Sinatra send my https redirects to http

I have a reverse proxy with nginx + thin, and it works great.

My problem is redirection to any controller when I'm under "https". It will redirect to "http".

For example i'm on https://example.com then I use

  redirect "/view"

and I'm redirected to http://example.com/view

I've been searching but can't find anything.

I've solved this issue by using this configuration:

location / {     proxy_pass http://balancer;     proxy_redirect default;     proxy_redirect http:// https://; }

that way Location http://… changes to Location https://… when the port used is 443.

Nice to know that you solved it, but being a Rails list, this is probably the wrong place to be asking. Check out: http://groups.google.com/group/sinatrarb

Sounds like sinatra doesn't know it's being connected to over https (since nginx handles all of that for you), whereas it needs to in order to be able to construct the correct URL You can do this with something like proxy_set_header X-FORWARDED_PROTO https;
