The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Adam Bernstein <address@concealed>]

Is anybody else running WWSympa with both an http:// option and an https:// 
option?  It works just fine, with both served from the same configuration 
(though two different wwsympa.fcgi processes start up to serve the two 
protocols), but we have a minor detail that I can't figure out.

We were able to eliminate warnings about "some elements of this page are 
not encrypted" by changing the css_url; when that setting was specified as 
a full URL (http://lists.domain.tld/lists), obviously it was always loaded 
without SSL, even when the user accessed the page via https, resulting in 
the warning.  But happily, we found that setting it simply to /lists works 
fine.  Now the CSS is loaded via http if that's your connection method, or 
by https if that's your connection method.  But a similar solution does not 
work for the wwsympa_url setting.

If wwsympa_url is set simply to /lists, the links that Sympa sends out in 
emails will contain only that address, no full URL, so they're broken.  If 
it's set to http:... and you have an existing https: connection open, and 
you receive one of these emails and click the link, you get a new page with 
http: and you have to login again, because it's a "different" site.  I 
suspect we're just trying to do something Sympa can't do (yet?), but I 
thought I'd ask if there's a solution I'm not seeing.

If not, I will have to try to modify WWSympa to fill in the base URL if the 
wwsympa_url setting doesn't contain a protocol specification....

Thanks!
