Sorry, but I completely disagree with your arguments. The HTTPS
environment variable is mod_rewrite specific, it is not a CGI variable
(like HTTP_HOST or SERVER_PORT), see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond
So, when mod_rewrite take control, this variable *must* be "on" or
"off", *regardless* of whether mod_ssl is loaded, as stated by
mod_rewrite official documentation.
So I continue thinking about a bug...
