All forms should submit to relative URLs, which will ensure that the correct website prefix is used. The FAQ implies that mailman can be run on a secure webserver and everything should "just work", however this does not seem to be the case. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=129704 No I have not - this was the problem. Please could you add a section to the docs that points this out about setting up SSL - it's way too easy to overlook a tiny option such as this one. In theory there is no need for mailman to post to an absolute URL that I am aware of - is it possible to change it to access relative URLs? This will make mailman significantly easier to use on SSL sites. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-03-03 00:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 Have you set DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' in your mm_cfg.py ?
