Redirect fails on HTTPS: only server

Description

Our webserver only accepts https: requests, port 80 is shut off entirely. I've added webserver_auth to an otherwise clean D6.9 install.

On login, something is trying to redirect from https://mysite to http://mysite -- and since port 80 is shut off it eventually times out.

New users hitting the site do get registered, there is an entry in the {users} and {authmap} tables.

Any ideas? I don't see any explicit redirects in webserver_auth.module, so I'm not sure where to start attempting a fix.

Figures as soon as I post I find the bug. I had "Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account" checked. When I unchecked it, everything start to work.

This feels like a bug, the site should never have tried to redirect me away from https. But if the install instructions mention this setting it is probably good enough for now.

Thanks!
