After going here and there and implementing alot of solutions, I found that every post request is getting redirected to get even if it was with HTTPS because of the implementation of the ForceSSL in the manual, so my word to you, save your time and implement this simple solution. I have tested it on cakephp 2.0 however I think it wouldn’t mind to work on cakephp 1.3

First thing, we are going to define the actions that requires SSL, which I’ll name the secure actions

class AppController extends Controller {
    protected $secureActions = array(
    	'place_order',
    	'login',
    	'checkout'
    );
}

We are going to check if the current action is in our secure actions

function beforeFilter() {
        if (in_array($this->params['action'], $this->secureActions) 
            && !isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
                $this->forceSSL();
        }
}

Then we will implement a method to redirect to the same URI but with HTTPS

public function forceSSL() {
	$this->redirect('https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $this->here);
}
