For future reference: When attempting to set up cloudflare and heroku properly with SSL, here's how you do it.

For future reference: When attempting to set up cloudflare and heroku properly, here's how you do it:
1. Just buy the dingdang SSL cert through Cloudflare.
2. Enable Cloudflare's built-in https:// redirect functionality.
3. Use the "Full" SSL setting in Cloudflare
4. In Cloudflare, have your DNS set up to point at the normal/default DNS setting (not the special SSL one!)
5. Don't do anything related to SSL in heroku (or in your app logic)
> If you choose "Partial" SSL in Cloudflare or start monkeying around with SSL in Heroku, things get kind of weird.
