My `https` branch adds `https_url` +and `https_cgiurl` config options which can be used to provide a HTTPS +variant of an existing site; the CGI script automatically detects whether +it was accessed over HTTPS and switches to the other one. + +This required some refactoring, which might be worth merging even if +you don't like my approach: + +* change `IkiWiki::cgiurl` to return the equivalent of `$config{cgiurl}` if + called with no parameters, and change all plugins to indirect through it + (then I only need to change that one function for the HTTPS hack) + +* `IkiWiki::baseurl` already has similar behaviour, so change nearly all + references to the `$config{url}` to call `baseurl` (a couple of references + specifically wanted the top-level public URL for Google or Blogspam rather + than a URL for the user's browser, so I left those alone) |
