Question

I\'m looking for a simple way to enable SSL in a standalone Sinatra application running via Thin without having to pass the --ssl, --ssl-key-file a

Answer 1

I'm running Sinatra and Thin (on Heroku) with SSL using the Rack::SslEnforcer, doing this:

    require 'rack/ssl-enforcer'
    use Rack::SslEnforcer
end

This should be before you enable :sessions in your file.
