[Zope] SSL and relative links (URLs)

[Dustin Engelhaupt]

Hello all,

I am running Zope 2.2.2 and accessing it through Apache & FastCGI. I 
want to access some of the content through SSL and some without. What I 
have done is set up 2 FastCgiExternalServer directives in Apache. One in 
the non-SSL area (/non-SSL/dir/zope) and one in the SSL enabled area 
(/SSL/dir/zope_ssl).

BTW, this is the only way I have figured out to be able to serve zope 
content through both SSL and non-SSL enabled delivery on a single zope 
server. The obvious problem here is that content meant for SSL can be 
accessed through non-SSL and vice-versa. If anyone has come up better 
solution, please let me know.

My real problem is that when I call a zope object relatively (ex- 
href="zope_object" instead of href="zope_object.absolute_url()" or 
href="https://bla.com/zope/zope_object"), the protocol is displayed as 
http instead of https. I had this problem with absolute_url() until I 
installed SSLAbsoluteURL (shameless SSLAbsoluteURL plug). Is there 
anyway to remedy this situation with relative links?

Thanks,
  Dustin
