PerForm Patch

[Matthew Smith <gr...@gil.com.au>]

This patch simplifies use of PerForm within SSL.  I had the problem that 
when I did a simple redirect (relative path) from my PerForm XSP, it 
would try to redirect to http instead of https.  I noticed that webutils 
has a 'secure' param already so I made the 'submit' and 'cancel' subs in 
perform return a 'secure' flag as well as the redirect path.  The fix is 
backward compatible if the secure flag is missing, behaviour is as before.

FWIW I deal with this by only running http on my axkit servers and 
proxying from a mod_proxy server that runs SSL. Then PerForm works 
perfectly with SSL :-)

I'll think carefully before applying this though. It's not 100% 
compatible with everything in PerForm (for example the "goto" 
attribute).
