html:link and ssl

Hallo,

I have some problems with the struts html-tag link with the 
properties forward or page. I want to use this tag with ssl. It doesn't 
create the link, because the method in  
org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils throws in the method 
absoluteURL a MalformedURLException because unknown 
protocol. 
Do I need some additional package for ssl? Or is there a other 
solution?

Thanks for help

Harald

Hallo,

here is my example:

struts-config:
  <global-forwards>
	..	
	<forward name="login"            path="/2/login.jsp"/>
	..
  </global-forwards>

an now I want to use in every page something like this:
	
	<body>
	..
		<html:link forward="login">login </html:link>
	..
	</body>

I don't want to switch from ssl to non-ssl. I am using the whole time ssl. But the 
link wouldn't be create.

Example for testing page:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body >
<%=pageContext.getRequest().getScheme() %><br>
<%=pageContext.getRequest().getServerName() %><br>
<%=pageContext.getRequest().getServerPort() %><br>
<%=((HttpServletRequest)pageContext.getRequest()).getContextPath() %><br>

 <%java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(request.getScheme(),
                              request.getServerName(),
                              request.getServerPort(),
                              request.getContextPath());%>
   <%=url.toString()%>

<html:link forward="login">index</html:link>

</body>
</html>

When I request this page with: http://myserver/mycontext/index.jsp I get back:
	http
	myserver
	80
	/mycontext
	http://myserver/mycontext
	 login (as link)
When I request this page with: https://myserver/mycontext/index.jsp
I get back:

Exception:
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: https at 
java.net.URL.(URL.java:307) at java.net.URL.(URL.java:224) 

I hope this will explame my problem in more details.

Could you give an example of how you are trying to do this?

Note that trying to use the "page" attribute only works within the current
web application (the path you give it is context-relative beginning with a
"/").  To go to a different web application, or to switch from SSL to
non-SSL or back, you will need to make sure you generate a redirection,
either by using the "href" attribute, or by referencing a <forward>
element that has redirect="true" on it.
