with the following which now redirects properly under https. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Here’s my code change for line 64 of EditLink.pm. I’m not sure what the difference is between the original code and my code as it seems as though they should be the same.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Also, using the standard https setup as documented here:
<a href="http://wiki.eprints.org/w/How_to_use_EPrints_with_HTTPS">http://wiki.eprints.org/w/How_to_use_EPrints_with_HTTPS</a> the include line for apache has changed to “Include /opt/eprints3/cfg/apache_ssl.conf” at what version this include has changed I have
no idea. I’d update the documentation but reluctant to do so as I don’t know when this changed version wise. This took a while to figure out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is the best config value to use for the base URL when dealing with both http and https connections?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I see in 10_core.pl the following defined, but obviously they don’t automatically switch based upon http vs. https.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">$c->{http_root} = undef;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">$c->{https_root} = '/secure';<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">$c->{http_cgiroot} = '/cgi';<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">$c->{https_cgiroot} = '/secure/cgi';<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But is there a $session->config(‘{???}’) value that automatically switches between http and https as needed?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason I am asking is in the code for meprints, we are having an issue with the “Edit Profile” link on the user’s homepage isn’t redirecting properly to https (aka “/secure/…”). I suspect that the issue is found here:
<a href="https://github.com/eprintsug/meprints/blob/66da9c9c7bfb04dfa202368ad03cacc5ffe61fca/lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/User/EditLink.pm#L64">
https://github.com/eprintsug/meprints/blob/66da9c9c7bfb04dfa202368ad03cacc5ffe61fca/lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/User/EditLink.pm#L64</a> However, I’m at a loss as to what to replace the $session->config( ‘userhome’ ) value with. I suspect that there
is a https or /secure that needs prepended to the string and I figure there is a short cut that I can use like $session->config( ‘cgiurl’ ) etc. or something similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
