class ASF::HTTPS_workarounds

Apache httpd on the original whimsy-vm was behind a proxy that converts https requests into http requests. Update the environment variables to match. This middleware is likely now obsolete.

def call(env)
  if env['HTTPS'] == 'on'
    env['SCRIPT_URI'].sub!(/^http:/, 'https:')
    env['SERVER_PORT'] = '443'

    # for reasons I don't understand, Passenger on whimsy doesn't
    # forward root directory requests directly, so as a workaround
    # these requests are rewritten and the following code maps
    # the requests back:
    if env['PATH_INFO'] == '/index.html'
      env['PATH_INFO'] = '/'
      env['SCRIPT_URI'] += '/'
    end
  end

  return @app.call(env)
end

if HTTPS is set in the environment, rewrite the SCRIPT_URI and SERVER_PORT; and strip index.html from the PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_URI.
