Hi I've created a ticket to propose adding a preferred/default protocol in the "sites" framework at https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26079
tim suggested I bring this to the mailing list and said the following: I'm not immediately convinced that a database field is the way to go for a > couple reasons: > > 1. It would make data less portable between development (where SSL is > often not in use) and production. > 2.

Thanks! > - actually I would say it is even more portable as you would probably use different databases between dev and prod , meaning you can have http in dev but https in prod - its not just for SSL but also maybe a it could be used with other protocols/schemes such as dav, webcal, feed - third party libraries could now have a definitive way of generating a full URL what do you guys think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
