[Catalyst] Usage of $c->uri_for and $c->res->redirect

[Ashley]

There are two approaches which have helped me. Remember the URI  
object underneath can be your friend.

1) Keep things relative.
    $c->uri_for("/blah")->path
    $c->uri_for("/blah")->path_query

2) Change the scheme yourself.
    my $uri = $c->uri_for("/blah");
    $uri->scheme( $my_test ? "http" : "https" );
