Security component and combine requireSecure() and requireLogin()

Hello,
I try to use the security component in cakePHP 1.3 and want to combine
the requirements to establish an SSL connection with a simple security
login.
First I want to redirect to a secure connection. Then transmitting the
password should be okay.

Both methods work fine as long as long as I don't combine them. I can
automatically redirect to SSL via _forceSSL() and I can force a basic
login with $this->Security->requireLogin();
Together, however, this creates an endless redirection error:
"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for
this address in a way that will never complete."

The code:
class AppController extends Controller{
var $components = array('Security');

function beforeFilter(){
$this->Security->blackHoleCallback = '_forceSSL';
$this->Security->requireSecure();

$this->Security->loginOptions = array(
'type'=>'basic',
'realm'=>'myrealm'
);
$this->Security->loginUsers = array(
'username'=>'password',
);
$this->Security->requireLogin();
}

function _forceSSL(){
$this->redirect(HOME.$this->here);
}
}
I tried detecting whether the protocoll is already SSL in the
blackhole function and to skip the redirect if so, and I tried
redefining/resetting the blackhole function just before "$this-
>Security->requireLogin();", both to no avail. I must be missing
something obvious? Thanks for any hints.
PS: the HOME constant is defined in bootstrap.php, because I have to
specify different ports on dev. and production systems. It works as
long as I don't combine the two requirements.
