Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to detect http or https in an url address using an Exponential function.

The reason I'm looking for this kind of function is that in IE, when there is non-secured elements in a https page, we get a popup warning the user.. and with this function, I could make this non-secure content change when this is a secured page.

Thanks!

I took a brief look for the related online ...
<i>http://ez.no/doc/content/advancedsearch?SearchText=SSL&PhraseSearchText=&SearchSectionID=10&SearchContentClassID=-1&isOnDocumentation=true&SubTreeArray%5B%5D=documentation&SearchPageLimit=4&SearchButton=Search</i>

I would comment that you would do well to learn the configuration settings (features) offered by the sslzonesettings block.

<i>http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/sslzonesettings</i>

Ad while these settings are not as well documented (yet) in the latest Exponential 3.8 documentation manuals as you may like they are fairly simple in nature, I wager you could learn them by reviewing existing settings (global defaults in setting/site.ini).

There is also the new feature documentation txt file on this subject in svn,

And from the 'stuff-you-see-but-always-forget-where-dept', there was a great article which covered this subject,

I went another way and used the wrapper operator (http://ez.no/community/contribs/template_plugins/wrapper_operator) with a small user function getServerVariable.php:

<?php

    function getServerVariable($variable)
    {
        return $_SERVER[$variable];
    }

?>

Then in my template have

{def $https=wrap_user_func('getServerVariable', array('HTTPS'))}

and check with

{if eq($https, 'on')}

Smart move Adjax ;D

A lot more of those lost, would do well to make the most from the wrap operator's simple ability to provide for simpler solutions, like tpl -> PHP -> (*anything*) -> PHP - > tpl -> user ...
