Support for protocol, host, port and context stripes:form, stripes:link and
stripes:url tags
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: STS-421
URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-421
Project: Stripes
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tag Library
Affects Versions: Release 1.4.3
Reporter: Jan Moravec
Assigned To: Tim Fennell
Priority: Minor
It would be great if stripes:form, stripes:link and stripes:url tags supported
additional attributes to make the rendered URL absolute. This is very handy in
situations when the user is on a page that got loaded via HTTP and you need to
point them to an action over HTTPS.
This is very common for title pages containing user login forms that should be
submitted over HTTPS. Redirecting the user to HTTPS as soon as they hit the
title page is not desirable. Most of the functionality on the title page is
typically available to non-authenticated users and there is no need to further
stress the HTTP server with unnecessary HTTPS traffic.
Stripes tags should be intelligent enough to calculate sane defaults (e.g. if
protocol="https" is specified and no port is specified, then the port should be
set to 443) and normalize the generated URLs (when a standard port is used for
the chosen protocol, then the port number is dropped from the URL).
According to the reactions on the mailing list (search for "Force HTTPS for
submit"), there are users who would appreciate this functionality.
I have already implemented an extension of the stripes:form tag + normalization
routines etc. to support the 4 above-mentioned attributes so I can possibly
extract the relevant code and post it.
