I have a Django website where some of the URLs need to be served over HTTPS and some over a normal connection.
It's running on Apache and using WSGI. Here's the config:
<VirtualHost example.org:80>
    ServerName example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysite
    WSGIDaemonProcess mysite
    WSGIProcessGroup mysite
    WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite/conferencemanager.wsgi    
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysite
    WSGIProcessGroup mysite
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/certs/aace.org.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/certs/aace.org.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/certs/gd_bundle.crt
    WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite/conferencemanager_secure.wsgi     
</VirtualHost>
When I restart the server, the first site that gets called -- https or http -- appears to select which WSGI script alias gets used.
I just need a few settings to be different for the secure server, which is why I'm using a different WSGI script. Alternatively, it there's a way to change settings in the settings.py file based on whether the connection is secure or not, that would also work.
Thanks
