[play-framework] how to direct to pages though HTTPS

[Bendanpa]

Hi,

I have a toy app running on GAE and GAE nicely supports https request.
all the traffic are over https if I browse the home page with URL
https://myapp

I have one question on how to pre-set a link to a page over https
instead of http?

suppose the page's url is "/alumnicontroller/show?id=6", and the link
is:

href="@{AlumniController.show(xy.id)}"

What should I do to make the link to "https://my-gae-site/
alumnicontroller/show?id=6" (not http://blahblah) so that clicking
this link will make a request over https?

Thanks,
Bendanpa

Since I did not get any suggestions I tried myself during the weekend
and managed to make it work. Here is what I was doing:

1) add one method to inner class Secure.Security

static boolean neetSSL() {
return false;
}

this can be customized by user.

2) modify method login of class Secure to:

public static void login() throws Throwable {
if (needSSL() && request.secure == false) {
request.secure = true;
login(); // call itself again to ensure traffic over
https
} else {
// original code here
}

}

3) Without any override then the modified Secure module just works as
before.

4) To customize the default ssl setting I then just override the the
new added method needSSL in my Security class extends Secure.Security
to make
proper setting, i.e, the login request is over https on production
server
only)

Please comment if I anything I did wrong.

Thanks,
Bendanpa

It should be done automatically if your proxy server send these headers:

X-Forwarded-Ssl=on or X-Forwarded-Proto=https

Thanks, But I don't quite know how to do that with GAE. On GAE, if I
specify hppts://blahblah.appspot.com in browser's URL then it uses
https, if I specify http://blahblah.appspot.com or just type
"blahblah.appspot.com" it uses http.

What I want is to let some pages like the login page travel over https
but did not find an easy way. So I have to tweak the login method in
Secure module.

By the way, do I have a way to override the login method without touch
the secure module?

Thanks,
Bendanpa

Ah ok

So I guess we need to add a new method. Something like:

@{index().secure()}

[Bendanpa]

Let me know when it is available. I would love to first test it.

Please bare with me with some least instructions on how to use it as I
am a kind of newbie in web dev.

Thanks,
Bendanpa

Why do you change the subject and put non relating question? You
should create new post for your own question.

I changed subject back.

To answer your question, only play 1.1 support "play install a-module"
command

Thanks,
Bendanpa

Hi, you need to run the command from your application's root, not from the
root of Play.
