----------------------------------
Just keep in mind that you open a security hole once you switch from https back to http!
I would like to suggest to introduce a second session cookie thats _only_ transmitted via
https (and created upon the first https request) - this can be verfied by the same filter
that redirects to http or https. Once the cookie is transmitted via http the session is
considered insecure and therfore has to be invalidated. This should work with every
browser / server (although I'm not 100% sure on it so you better check it another
time ;)).
If you are looking for examples you might have a look at ACEGI - they have a http
<-> https switching filter.
Last but not least I would like to request a scheme="https" attribute for s:link
too.
auto-redirect to HTTPS

We should make it easy to direct the request to https. We should also validate that
requests that *should* be https actually *are* https.
