There was a long related discussion a few weeks ago. Here is what I've
added to the guide (not online yet):
=head1 Verifying Whether A Request Was Received Over An SSL Connection
Just like C<$ENV{MODPERL}> is checked to see whether the code is run
under mod_perl, C<$ENV{HTTPS}> is set by ssl modules and therefore can
be used to check whether a request is running over SSL connection. For
example:
print "SSL" if $ENV{HTTPS};
If C<PerlSetupEnv Off> setting is in effect, C<$ENV{HTTPS}> won't be
available, and then:
print "SSL" if $r->subprocess_env('https');
should be used instead.
Note that it's also possible to check the scheme:
print "SSL" if Apache::URI->parse($r)->scheme =~ m/^https/;
but it's not one hundred percent certain unless you control the server
and you know that you run a secure server on the port 443.

scheme is good!
Why is $r->parsed_uri not the same as Apache::URI->parse($r) ?
Another question: If my server listens to 2 adresses as with
<VirtualHost _default_:443 _default_:4443>
I get always 443 from s->port. The REAL port I get from the Host header. Is
there another way?
