[kforge-user] http vs. https

[John Bywater]

Hi Gunnar,

So, this aspect is a bit of a mess, and I'm not exactly sure what to do 
about it.

The www.port_https config option just controls which port https is 
served on. But KForge apache config builder doesn't now take 
responsibility for configuring a virtual server, but just creates a 
"fragment" of apache config which can be included in a virtual server 
(along with other things, as required).

Rufus and I spotted that there is some code which creates full URLs, and 
an "http://" is hard-coded in here, which isn't great.

So, for now I suggest that if you want to force users to go through 
https, then configure your Web server to redirect.

Hopefully we'll put some more design into this, so if you've got any 
good ideas, do let us know.

Best wishes,

John.
