Hi Adam, I believe that this is simply to detect that the WASH CGI script is being invoked using HTTPS while running into a Web server (say Apache) that supports it. titto

Is there any implementation of HTTPS/SSL in Haskell?

This would seem to be critical to develop commercial web applications.

WASH has a run time function ( runWithOptions ) that has type:

runWithOptions :: CGIOptions -> CGI () -> IO ()

with...

type CGIOptions = [CGIOption]

data CGIOption = .... AutoHttps -- autodetect Https by checking for port number 443 and env var HTTPS ...
