[opencms-dev] Problem with internal redirecting and SSL

Hello,

I am trying to secure my OpenCms workplace with SSL. Currently Apache is 
serving the encrypted connection to the browser and redirects the request via 
mod_proxy to tomcat. Everything works fine except that OpenCms does not 
handle links correct. 
If I login into the workplace everything works quite well, except that if I 
click on a file for editing I am redirected to http:// instead of https://, 
that means I leave the encrypted connection. 
Another explample is the exit button, which has the link 
https://hostname/system/login/index.html?logout=true 
That's correct, but after the logout is done I am redirected to http://, what 
can I do? I do not want to leave the encrypted connection. It seems that the 
OpenCms internal does not detect the encrypted connection and redirects 
wrong.

Regards
Jan
