[Mailman-Users] Pipermail directs to http instead of https?

[Ryan Steele]

Patrick/List,

I think the person who administered the box before me installed Mailman 
incorrectly.  But, complaining about their incompetency isn't gonna fix 
my problem.  The fix_url script removes it from the listinfo page.  I 
had to manually reset the proper address....a result of the 
aforementioned person's installation snafu.  I can't see having 
RedirectPermanent being a good solution...many servers limit the number 
of redirections, and I know that Firefox and IE will suffer from 
redirection limits as well...there is extensive documentation of this 
resulting from a simple Google search.

Also, someone suggested:

Don't you also need to set PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL as well?

Something like this is what I've done in the past, but it's been
a while since I  setup an installation using SSL that had archiving
enabled.

PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'https://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'


I would hope I wouldn't have to do that for every list.  I think I'm 
just going to copy the Alias line for pipermail to the non-https 
virtualhost container.  If there are any other good suggestions, let me 
know. 

Thanks,
Ryan
