Catalyst HTTPS redirect

[jgara]

Topic: the HTTPS redirect on catalyst
Both -prod and -stage use the following code in /etc/httpd/conf.d/01_catalyst.conf:

# BEGIN http redirect
  # We run Catalyst/Blacklight in the main virtual host, and we require
  # https access. So this :80 virtual host insists on redirects to https.
  #
  # This could also be put in <Location> directives if it wasn't the whole
  # server that was so restricted.
  #
  # Except Refworks sometimes refuses to make callbacks to https, so we
  # have to allow refworks-formatted exports in http.
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !refworks_marc_txt$
  RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

# END http redirect

The proposed change/simplification is:

# BEGIN http redirect
  Redirect "/" "https://{{ hostname | default('myapp') }}.{{ domainname | default('test.test') }}"
# END http redirect

Is this ok? Will some rare condition not be fulfilled? Will something be lost?
