I have this application running on IIS , but its not https in the URL.
HTTPS_KEYSIZE [empty string] is empty as I dump the cgi variable

I am unaware how to resolve this issue, Do I need to something for the cg.https_keysize to return some value.?

I'm confused by this

"I have this application running on IIS , but its not https in the URL.
HTTPS_KEYSIZE [empty string] is empty as I dump the cgi variable"

CGI variables are only valid for the current request. If it's not https in the url, you won't get an https_keysize value.
