Alternatives to Heroku SSL Endpoint add-on
heroku, http-proxy, load-balancing, ssl
Solution
SSL is now included on all paid dynos. Thus, you pay only the certificate price.

Problem
I'm looking for information on how to configure an HTTP load balancer or proxy server (squid, nginx, HAProxy, etc.) to handle the SSL for my domain as an alternative to adding Heroku's SSL Endpoint add-on for $20/month. The load balancer or proxy server would terminate the SSL connection and the last leg to the heroku server would be over http.
