Wow, I use one before_filter on my Heroku hosted app. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this just Heroku's awesomeness?

  def redirect_to_ssl
    redirect_to :protocol => "https://" unless (request.ssl? or request.local?)
  end

Heroku is awesome, but one of the drawbacks (to my knowledge) is that you can't set up nginx redirects. So with that setup each user incurs an extra rails request once per session.
