[imp] S/MIME and PGP not working

[Markus Turba]

found it!!! (although I am still clueless on the "wtf?" part of it all).

It is indeed my php config. After looking a bit closer I saw (and then  
my bad brain started to remember) that I had to tweak my php settings  
a bit for the ajax.php in the horde config, because I could not get it  
run with the standard fastcgi_params include of nginx. For reasons I  
still have not understood that extra (new) include for ajax.php  
resulting in having an empty _server("HTTPS") string, resulting in my  
problem. Now I hardcorded it to "on" everything is fine, although I  
still havent understood what makes the variable go emtpy in the first  
place, as there is nothing around which unsets it, but I guess thats  
not in the scope of this mailing list to discuss, so I say a big THANK  
YOU and leave you guys at peace!
