From a79ab9ed186112056d7f60e41e8d0760c2cc13f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 11:40:18 -0400 Subject: add and use cgiurl_abs_samescheme * emailauth: Fix cookie problem when user is on https and the cgiurl uses http, by making the emailed login link use https. * passwordauth: Use https for emailed password reset link when user is on https. Not entirely happy with this approach, but I don't currently see a better one. I have not verified that the passwordauth change fixes any problem, other than the user getting a http link when they were using https. The emailauth problem is verified fixed by this commit.
