suburbanantihero has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm writing a PerlAccessHandler and I'm trying to determine if a user is coming over SSL. It's my assumption the best way to do this is to: 
sub handler {
     my $r = shift;
     my $uri = $r->parsed_uri;
     my $scheme = lc($uri->scheme);

     if ($scheme eq 'https') {
         ...
     }
     ...
}

My major problem is that $uri->scheme is returning nothing. Has anyone seen this problem or have a better solution?

    There was some heated discussion of this on the mod_perl list a while back, and the best answer has, of course, found its way into the Guide already.

    perl -pe '"I lo*`+$^X$\"$]!$/"=~m%(.*)%s;$_=$1;y^`+*^e v^#$&V"+@( NO CARRIER'
