I have a patch in a Catalyst branch that allows you to specify various 
frontend information via headers sent to the backend - 
http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/branches/Catalyst-Runtime-proxystuff/

For SSL you'd send "X-Forwarded-Is-SSL" with some true value.

Hopefully this will be merged into the Catalyst trunk sometime soonish.
