How is pushing users into and out of SSL traditionally handled in
cakephp 1.1?  I'm working on someone else's codebase (thus, 1.1) -- a
shop with no provision for SSL routing written in.  I found, modified,
and used a component to force actions into and out of SSL.  It seems a
slightly imperfect in my mind because, currently, a link that will
land you on an SSL encrypted page from an unencrypted one doesn't
indicate SSL (so the link is '/login/', and if you're on 80, you get
pushed into 433 -- this would happen to break a post submission, but
that shouldn't be an issue, because who'd want to submit from 80 to
433 anyway?).  Anyway, I was considering something like a wrapper
around the HTML helper so that $html->link() could be told to write as
SSLon or somesuch.  My thinking is that handling this with both
accurately written links and server-side enforcement would be the best
way to go, but I haven't actually seen something like that done, so I
thought I'd solicit some feedback...

thoughts?
