site_url and https

Wondering if it might be possible to have the <txp:site_url /> tag produce a secure link i.e https://domain.com instead of http://domain.com? In my case I’d like to guide a user to a secure data submission page via a menu. I think rah_replace could be used for this, but something native like <txp:site_url scheme="https" /> would be awesome.

Bumping this – any chance this could become a reality soon?

Re: site_url and https

It would also be nice to have the option for the admin side too

Re: site_url and https

Sounds fair, maybe open a github issue for this?

Re: site_url and https

I use this scheme: web_users —> nginx:443(SSL) —> apache:80(textpattern)

nginx(if needed) set header HTTPS = on, but apache(textpattern) see it as HTTP_HTTPS = on so can not determine the https protocol.

Fast fix(for me) add in config.php line

if( empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_HTTPS'])  ){ $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_HTTPS']; }

My site can be https/http requests, so I can not hard-code https protocol.

Re: site_url and https

I looked how https detected in other applications, for example, in phpMyAdmin.

if (PMA_getenv('HTTP_SCHEME')) {
	$url['scheme'] = PMA_getenv('HTTP_SCHEME');
} elseif (PMA_getenv('HTTPS') && strtolower(PMA_getenv('HTTPS')) == 'on') {
	$url['scheme'] = 'https';
// A10 Networks load balancer:
} elseif (PMA_getenv('HTTP_HTTPS_FROM_LB') && strtolower(PMA_getenv('HTTP_HTTPS_FROM_LB')) == 'on') {
	$url['scheme'] = 'https';
} elseif (PMA_getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO')) {
	$url['scheme'] = /*overload*/mb_strtolower(PMA_getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'));
} elseif (PMA_getenv('HTTP_FRONT_END_HTTPS') && strtolower(PMA_getenv('HTTP_FRONT_END_HTTPS')) == 'on') {
	$url['scheme'] = 'https';
} else {
	$url['scheme'] = 'http';
}

phpMyAdmin is often used by SSL connection and this code has already been tested by many people.
Maybe that tells us how to solve the problem more correctly.
