we have some public (plain HTML) pages, that are not ssl encrypted
these pages have (relative) links to a GWT application
some of those links in the public area use history tokens, to open
certain views of the GWT application: so you click the link, then
http://..../secure/GWTApp.html#sometoken is called
the webserver notices that this resource is secured an sends a
redirect to https
then the browser requests https://..../secure/GWTApp.html#sometoken

that works fine in all browsers, except...
you'll never guess it
...here it comes:
Internet Explorer (tested in IE6 and IE7)

the only workarounds I can think of:
 * use absolute URLs in the public pages:
   <a href="https://my.domain.com/.../secure/GWTApp.html#sometoken>
   I don't like that, because the domain is different for the
development/test/productiontest servers
 * I could use a special URL parameters to wrap the historytoken
  <a href="./secure/GWTApp.html?historyToken=sometoken>
  and when the application starts I could implement some magic to
update the history

maybe anyone knows a more elegant way to solve this?
