The problem that most scripts check for 'on', and not for '1'.

http://www.cgi101.com/book/ch3/text.html

More than that - I don't know any servers that set this to '1', except mod_wsgi, and perhaps other implementations that follow this wsgiref. mod_wsgi even changes value of Apache2 environment to '1'

For existing CGI scripts (that rely on HTTPS parameter being 'on') and that are ported to WSGI, this creates additional issues with HTTPS, and wastes people time.
