Hi Matt, I think what I'm doing on my OpenShift blog (http[s]://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com/) could work for you:

1.) On the blog server administration page, "Absolute URL to site (if required)" field, I have "https://web-gmazza.rhcloud.com"; 2.) I uncommented the <security-constraint/> section at the bottom of the default web.xml: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/trunk/app/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml?view=markup

This gives me both https:// and http:// for the blog reader, but only the former when I'm creating blogs, logging in, etc.

HTH,
Glen

I'm thinking about making my site accessible over http as well as https. One thing I noticed is the 
absolute URL requires a prefix. I tried changing it from "http://"; to just "//" 
(so it uses the same scheme as the page) and it fails:

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: //localhost:8080

Is it possible to enhance the "$absBaseURL" macro to allow no prefix?

I'm using Roller 5.0.3 on Tomcat 7.

Thanks,

Matt
