Heroku (YC W08) launches SSL Hostname Add-on Public Beta

This is nice (I use it), but be aware, at the moment, this doesn't properly set X-Forwarded-For. Their piggyback SSL does, not sure about their other SSL option. The upshot of this is that you can't tell what IP your requests are coming from, which could be a deal breaker.<p>Heroku's said they're in contact w/ Amazon looking at a possible solutions.

Sound's like they're passing along the cost of using an ELB instance for each domain to act as an HTTPS proxy.<p>If only this had existed four months ago, I could have saved a ton of time hosting a customer's project on Heroku instead of dealing with EC2 directly. $100/m per domain was outrageous, using EC2 directly it's $18/m to allocate an Elastic Load Balancer instance for each additional domain.<p>$20/m for each domain with free bandwidth is just dandy, maybe I'll try porting to Heroku when I get a spare breath.
