Hi !
Would it be possible to add the is_ssl() function to the list of functions
that can be overloaded via a plug-in?
The reason for this is that in some cases where SSL Offloading is used
(SSL managed by an external device to the web server, say an F5 or
STunnel), the {{{$_SERVER['HTTPS']}}} will be false because the web server
is only listening on plain HTTP.
If we could overload this function via a plug-in, we could check other
common HTTP Headers used by some devices when doing SSL Offloading,
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO, HTTP_FRONT_END_HTTPS or even a custom one the
sysadmin chooses to inject to the request to let the web server know if
the connection is secure or not.
