[[!template id=gitbranch branch=smcv/ready/sslcookie-auto author="[[smcv]]"]] [[!tag patch]] At the moment `sslcookie => 0` never creates secure cookies, so if you log in with SSL, your browser will send the session cookie even over plain HTTP. Meanwhile `sslcookie => 1` always creates secure cookies, so you can't usefully log in over plain http. This branch adds `sslcookie => 0, sslcookie_auto => 1` as an option; this uses the `HTTPS` environment variable, so if you log in over SSL you'll get a secure session cookie, but if you log in over HTTP, you won't. (The syntax for the setup file is pretty rubbish - any other suggestions?) > Does this need to be a configurable option at all? The behavior could > just be changed in the sslcookie = 0 case.
