[opencms-dev] HTTPS pages

Hi Marian,
I do have my url_prefix_servername set, but it still doesn't work for me
the way I think it should.
I believe that there are some issues with LinkSubstitution, and maybe
someone from the OpenCms team could comment.
a. Looking at, for example, Amazon.com, it IS correct that the images
should come down as https, so that is OK.
b. Links to non-https pages (pages which have NOT been marked as
"export=https") inside an https page should be resolved to http://...,
but are instead resolved to "https//...".
c. If you define a single page as "export=dynamic", it resolves the
reference to a stylesheet (which I have marked as "export=true"), as
.../opencms/opencms/... and then doesn't find it. Given that it is
"export=true" surely it should be resolved as .../opencms/export/...
It seems that the link substitution needs to be different depending upon
the TYPE of item being linked (image, stylesheet, or hyperlink), and
particularly upon the value of the export property defined for the
linked item.
Can this be handled by changing the export rules, or is there a latent
bug in LinkSubstitution?
If the latter, I'd be happy to work out a resolution for it and post
that back to the team, but if the former I don't want to waste any time
on it.
Please let me know.
Best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
I faced same problem first but after additional setting in
opencms.properties
started to work correctly:
Except of this line:
url_prefix_https=https://server_name:8443/${WEB_APP_NAME}/opencms
I set also:
url_prefix_servername=http://server_name:8080
