[LRUG] Rails 3 not logging HTTPS requests

[Riccardo Tacconi]

Running the whole site under https is a solution, but they asked me to
'protect' only a couple of controllers. I am not using a gem, I am using
this in ApplicationController

    def require_ssl
      unless Rails.env == 'development'
        redirect_to :protocol => "https://" unless (request.ssl?)
      end
    end

Then I can force https where I want. Last part of your mail made me think
that I might have misconfigured Apache, so it could hit the staging site
using http and the production site when using https. I will have a look,
that is the only possible cause I could think about.
