Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket. Accepting a truthy/falsey values is risky and can
 be confusing e.g. what would you expect by setting `export
 SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT=0`?
 {{{
 >>> os.environ.get('SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT')
 '0'
 >>> bool(os.environ.get('SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT'))
 True
 }}}

 I prepared [https://github.com/django/django/pull/15443 PR] to make
 `CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE`/`SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE` no longer pass on truthy
 values.
