Heroku (YC W08) launches SSL Hostname Add-on Public Beta
- andrewvc 17y agoThis is nice (I use it), but be aware, at the moment, this doesn't properly set X-Forwarded-For. Their piggyback SSL does, not sure about their other SSL option. The upshot of this is that you can't tell what IP your requests are coming from, which could be a deal breaker. Heroku's said they're in contact w/ Amazon looking at a possible solutions.
- aaronbrethorst 17y agoThat will prevent you from using Paypal's Web Payments Pro service in conjunction with this. That's too bad. Still, I've been dealing with nasty workaround after nasty workaround to avoid ponying up $100/mo for SSL, so this is sounding pretty friggin' good.
- blasdel 17y agoSound's like they're passing along the cost of using an ELB instance for each domain to act as an HTTPS proxy. If only this had existed four months ago, I could have saved a ton of time hosting a customer's project on Heroku instead of dealing with EC2 directly. $100/m per domain was outrageous, using EC2 directly it's $18/m to allocate an Elastic Load Balancer instance for each additional domain. $20/m for each domain with free bandwidth is just dandy, maybe I'll try porting to Heroku when I get a spare breath.
