Django relative urls and https

Question

I have a Django project using https for certain part of the url (/account/, /admin/, /purchase/).

When on one of this page in https mode, all the relative inner links {% url foo %} will point to https://my_url .

However I do not want to have those pages shown as https :home, contacts ...

What are the solutions for this kind of requirements ?

Enforcing absolute url ?

 http://{{ domain }}{% url foo %} 

is not too nice.

Answer 1

Idea: you can use a custom middleware to redirect from https to http (or vice versa) for centrain URLs or URL patterns. This could also be done in Apache (or other web server) configuration.

Answer 2

As Tomasz suggests, one way to do it is to set up middleware to redirect to and from https as necessary. Here's one implementation - the idea is to decorate those views that should be served under https, and when the user navigates to a view that shouldn't be secure from one that is, the middleware redirects them automatically back to the http version of the page.

Answer 3

可以使用您的网络服务器重写为http，这样Django甚至不需要知道。

Answer 4

I find this snippet takes care of the situation nicely. Views that need SSL will have them, via a redirect from the http to https version of the url, and vice-versa.

Yes, on a https page, the outbound link to a non-https page in your site will still start with https, but the user will be redirected to the http version.

(There is a gotcha, however: it won't work if you're posting from http to https and vice versa)
