[Catalyst] Setting $c->req->{base}

After testing on one of my double-server setups, there doesn't seem to 
be any way to automatically detect if the frontend server is running in 
HTTPS mode.

The way I handle this currently is to have 2 different backend ports, 
one for HTTP and one for HTTPS.  On the second port, I add:
PerlSetEnv HTTPS On
and then check apache->dir_config->{HTTPS} in my code.

Anybody have a better way to do this?
