- If a page is requested using SSL, should all links from this
page to other internal pages also use an https:// URL? IMO yes.

I note that you write "requested using" and not "configured for" SSL.
Yes - I once had a discussion with a customer, and he stated that
it doesn't make sense to configure SSL per page. Once a user
requests a page using SSL, she expects that the subsequent pages
are served using SSL as well. Not sure if this is principle is
universally valid, though.
Sounds kind of special, at least to me.

After
a few clicks ("from https to https"), you might end up with an URL that
cannot be served.
Why would that be the case?
If you have a link pointing to a resource that is only served without SSL and
the user has "switched to SSL" and then klicks on this link, he will either be
switched back to http:// or get a 404 (or other) error message, depending on any
proxying/rewriting that maybe in effect outside of Lenya.
Not sure about this, but I guess that most of the times internal links
are absolute only when Lenya proxying is in effect??
AFAIK most links are resolved to absolute URLs ATM.
Not in my installation (last SVN update 2 days ago; no Lenya proxying enabled).
If I search the html source of a page served by Lenya (authoring or live), I
don't see any absolute links at all (except the ones to external sites, of
course). Maybe there is a misunderstanding? Are you talking about a different
kind of link?
Thanks!
