Requiring SSL Using Route Constraints in Rails 3

The new router in Rails 3 makes it super easy to require SSL for certain routes. Just use the following in your config/routes.rb:

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  class SslConstraint
    def self.matches?(request)
      request.ssl?
    end
  end

  scope :constraints => SslConstraint do
    resources :payments
    # Other SSL routes go in here
  end
end

Now, this is a pretty simple example–you’ll likely want to also have routes to redirect if a user tries to access without SSL, but it definitely shows off the power of the new router.
