In Symfony, how can I require http in a dev environment and https in production?

Question

In production, I have a group of routes that require SSL however this shouldn't be a requirement for development.

I thought that I could simply override my routes in routing_dev.yml but that doesn't seem to work. When navigating to any route, it forces https.

My Setup:

• app/config/routing_dev.yml contains a series of routes, duplicated from src/FOO/FOOBarBundle/Resources/config/routing, without schemes: [https]
• src/FOO/FOOBarBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml contains the same as above just with schemes: [https]

I expected that the routes in routing_dev.yml would have preceded those in the bundle and would have been the ones used while in development.

Am I on the right path, or is there a better way of accomplishing http in development and https in production for a select group of routes?

You need to use src/FOO/FOOBarBundle/Resources/config/routing_dev.yml for dev-environment (import it in app/config/routing_dev.yml instead of importing src/FOO/FOOBarBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml)
