-------------------------------+--------------------------------
The `build_absolute_uri` method on the request object
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/request-response/) builds an
absolute URI to the given location. It takes the protocol you're currently
on, so if you are on `http://example.com` and you execute
`build_absolute_uri('test/')` you'll get `http://example.com/test/`, and
if you're on `https://example.com`, you'll get
`https://example.com/test/`.
Sometimes when I create an absolute uri, I want to be sure that it's going
to https, whether I currently am on http or https. So I would like it if I
could tell this to the `build_absolute_uri` method.
I propose to add a keyword agrument `https` to the method. When you set it
to `True` it will use https, when you set it to `False` it will use http,
and when you don't set it it will default to `null`, which will keep the
old behavior (use the protocol that's in use in the current request).
So then you would be able to create a secure absolute URI like this:
{{{
build_absolute_uri('test/', https=True)
}}}
