[mod_python] Distinguish http from https?

One (admittedly somewhat klugey) solution is to add:
	PythonOption ssl on
to your ssl VirtualHost container (i.e. typically in ssl.conf), and  
then test for this option in your mod_python code, e.g.:

     url = 'http://'
     if req.get_options().has_key('ssl'):  url = 'https://'

This is what I've been using for some time, but it's great to know  
that something less config-intrusive will be available in future.
