Flux CMS DevBlog

Using https with Flux CMS is not a problem by design, but we had the following harcdoded by default in config.xml:

<constants>
        <constant name="BX_WEBROOT">http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/</constant>
</constants>

This always switches back to http:// and therefore make the https:// mode unusable.

If you only want to use https, the solution is easy, just change http:// to https:// above. But if you're in a mixed environment, you were lost. Until now. Apply this patch to your installation and change the above config line to

<constants>
        <constant name="BX_WEBROOT">http(s)://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/</constant>
</constants>

and it should work in both, http and https. Of course, you can also just update your installation to the latest trunk or 1_4 branch (but you still have to change the config.xml, and the http-only is still the default, if you install from scratch)

Update: There was one check in master.xsl for http://, therefore you have to patch that to. See this patch for the details.
