Force SSL for specific routes in Rails 3.1
ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3.1, ssl
Solution
I asked a similar question on stackoverflow here and was told to use https://github.com/tobmatth/rack-ssl-enforcer. I haven't tried it out yet, but based on the readme, it appears to solve your problem of conditionally enforcing ssl on certain routes.
Problem
I need to force SSL on all routes in my application except for `landing#index`. In `config/application.rb`, I have: ``` config.force_ssl = true ``` Then in `landing_controller.rb`, I have: ``` force_ssl :except => :index ``` However, all routes are still being redirected to `https`. Does anyone know how to conditionally force SSL in a Rails 3.1+ application? Solution: Add the following to your `Gemfile`: ``` gem 'rack-ssl-enforcer' ``` Add the following to your `config/application.rb`: ``` config.middleware.use Rack::SslEnforcer, :except => [ /\/$/ ], :strict => true ```
