Question
It appears that the
%INCLUDE%
capability is unable to handle
https://
URLs. This seems like a bug to me.
I tried one. I can show the link, I can follow the link, but the Include claims
Note: Included topic https:..private.company.com.dev.from-cvs.docs.mga.system.specs.WorkQueue,Routing.VOF.VTL.html does not exist yet
If I try with
http://
instead of
https://
I get a redirection
Found
The document has moved here
where "here" is a link to the https location.
Well, that's something but not whhat I had in mind.
I want https support for
%INCLUDE%
.

Answer
TWiki does not support the https protocol at this time.

That makes it either a bug (I call it a bug) or a feature request, but in any case... I
know it doesn't support http "at this time". At what time may I expect this?
If TWiki wants to work on Corporate Intranets, TWiki should suport https. I can't imagine I work at the only company that has put its Intrannet under https (although I have to ad,mit that I am at a loss to understand
why it's https)

More specifically: TWiki does not support https for INCLUDEs. TWiki itself does run under https (the original TWiki at
TakeFive did that).
TWiki is open source where many people help advance the product. TWiki will support INCLUDEs with https after you provide a solid patch for it.

:-P~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd be happy to do so, unfortunately, the only TWiki I run that uses https is the one inside my company (where I don't have edit permission on the server and where the IT dept would scowl on experimentation.)
I also don't have sufficient experienbce in http vs https to feel confident about wworking in sub getURL.
Somebody out there must control their https server and understand the networking aspects.
Feature request is posted at
IncludeUrlWithHttpsProtocol (thanks Peter).
If you build it, I'll test it!
