Changing the scheme http - https in page-flow?

Hi,

is it possible to change the scheme of the urls used by OF between http
and https using the page-flow?

Background: My OF application running on tomcat uses a username/pw-based
authentication. The login-page should be accessed via https to encrypt
the credentials. As soon as the user is authenticated, i don't need
https any more. But because i use relative paths (without a server name
or a scheme), the application of course continues to use https URLs.

I don't want to hard-code the server name in the page-flow because
alternatively, i have to change it between my test-system and the
productive version.

So i need a way to dynamically build the URL of the entry page (after
successful authentication) based on the actual server name with a http
scheme instead https. I found that the server name is available using
the request generator processor. But i'm not sure how to use that
information to build the URL of the page that should get loaded. Has
anyone already a working solution for this? Thanx in advance!

Yes, I would also use the request-generator, then XSLT to build a
configuration for the redirect processor, and finally of course the
redirect processor.

For the request generator, see (there is an example with the complete
output of that processor; you can take just the parts you are
interested in by providing a configuration):

For the redirect processor, see:

Great, thank you, the redirect processor was the "missing link" :-)
