Secure_Pages was not recognizing that it was on a secure connection. When I checked php_info and noted that $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is set to '1' rather than to 'on' which is what secure_pages expects. I edited the securepages_is_secure function to check if it is 'on' OR 1 and the module worked fine.

I know I should create a patch for this, but I'm not setup to do that right now. I may try and create it later.

Thanks

Why not typecast to an int or boolean or something? Normalize it?

Hi, I've opened a new issue to centralize this discussion:
#1096744: Document support for proxies and non-standard web server configurations

In the meantime, details on how to configure non-standard servers for securepages can be found here:
http://www.metaltoad.com/blog/running-drupal-secure-pages-behind-proxy

BTW $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is set by Apache. If you know what specific conditions cause it to be "1" instead of "on" please let me know so I can add it to the docs.
