Now it all works. Thanks!

The link to a list on the page generated by prefix/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py is determined by each list's web_page_url attribute. The value of this attribute is normally set when the list is created and is based to DEFAULT_URL or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN combined with DEFAULT_URL_HOST or DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN values at that time. Another list attribute set at the same time is it's host_name attribute which is set to DEFAULT_HOST_NAME (or DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST if DEFAULT_HOST_NAME is not defined). This is used in setting the link to the archives on the page returned by the /listinfo/<list> URI.

Every other link works so far. Only the archive link is wrong.

I just set DEFAULT_URL and DEFAULT_HOST_NAME in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py. DEFAULT_HOST_NAME has the same value as DEFAULT_URL_HOST. DEFAULT_URL has the value of DEFAULT_HOST_NAME with https:// in front of it (can I use %s there instead, like DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN?). That didn't help.

If you want to change these list attributes for a given list then prefix/bin/withlist is your friend. The standard MM 2.1 distribution

I want to have the defaults set such that I don't have to run withlist/fix_url every time I create a list. I have one host that the lists are serverd off of, and I want all the links to be https instead of http. (Everything in the MailMan web interface should be viewed from https://myserver.unboundtech.com/...)

has the $prefix/bin/fix_url.py script wto be used in conjunction with prefix/bin/withlist to reset a list's web_page_url and host_name. The values to which web_page_url and host_name are set by fix_url.py depend on the then current default MM parameters set in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and the options you put on the command line when running fix_url. See the code

Given that setting those two didn't fix my existing test list, I tried creating a second test list. I still have the same problem. Every link except the Archive link works.

Should I interpret this as a bug, or am I still doing something wrong. I don't think I should have to manually patch every list I create just because I'm using an https server for the web interface.

Looks like the URL is generated by the GetBaseArchiveURL function in $prefix/Mailman/Archive/Archiver.py which bases it on the config variable PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL. Learn something new every day.


in fix_url.py for deatils; python is quite easy to read.

Indeed it is, once you get past the lack of statement delimiters and the fact that indentation level determintes scope. :)

Interesting... I just made a similar change and I'm hoping it's going to
work. Maybe it won't *shrug*

My next thought is to use Apache to rewrite the urls. It can be done,
but it should be consistent in Mailman in the first place. Anyone?
