I would suggest creating a model 0_redefine_url.py that contains: _URL=URL def URL(*a,**b): if not 'secure' in b: return _URL(*a,**b) elif b['secure']: del b['secure'] return 'https://'+request.env.http_host + _URL(*a,**b) else: del b['secure'] return 'http://'+request.env.http_host + _URL(*a,**b)
and use URL(....,secure=True), URL(...secure=False) as required Massimo 'https://'+request.env.http_host +'/app/default/logon') On Dec 10, 2:11 pm, Wes James <compte...@gmail.com> wrote: > Actually, I don't think it would matter if there were a proxy or not?? > > On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 1:06 PM, Wes James <compte...@gmail.com> wrote: > > As long as you don't have a proxy between your users and the server > > something with request.env could be used > > > def login(): > > if request.env.port != 443: > > redirect('https://'+request.env.http_host +'/app/default/logon') > > > -wes > > > On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 11:42 AM, Jay <j...@unclehenrys.com> wrote: > >> I am new to web2py and Apache w/mod_ssl and I have been searching > >> for > >> a solution related to this topic but I must be missing a basic > >> understanding of the necessary pieces in order to accomplish this. > > >> Our web2py apache setup seems to be fine.
