feature request: to direct desired pages over https

[Bendanpa]

Some hosting services supports traffic over https nicely like the GAE. Play lacks a feature to let user to switch between http and https. We request this feature so that we can direct some pages like the login page and certain credential pages over https wherever the server supports it.

Please refer to google group topic: http://groups.google.com/group/play-framework/browse_thread/thread/615f8f3ebb006723

Hi Guillaume,

Would you please instruct me how to test it since you have fixed it?

Thanks,
Bendanpa

Simply call secure() on your actions. For example:

@{index().secure()}

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for the quick fix. I have tested that it is working fine.

Just one issue that is: in a returned page over https, all the links are
defaulted to use https, too. Sometimes I don't want them to be over https
but don't have a way to toggle it off.

Can I have one more request that is to specify some links in a page using
http and some using HTTPS? That is to say to add one more method insecure()
so that in one page I can do this way:

// for secure links
@{secure_action1().secure()}
...
@{secure_action2().secure()}

// for non-secure links
@{non_secure_action1().insecure()}
...
@{non_secure_action1().insecure()}
...

and of course user can specify the default protocol in application.conf.

Thanks,
Bendanpa
