[TYPO3-english] HTTPS, TYPO3 and static resources (images, etc.)

[Jason A. Lefkowitz]

Hey all --

I have a TYPO3 Web site that needs to have its home page (and *only* its 
home page) served over SSL.

My first stab at dealing with this was to install the HTTPS Enforcer 
extension 
(http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/https_enforcer/current/), 
which lets you specify particular pages in your TYPO3 site that should 
be forced to HTTPS. And the extension works as advertised! But there's a 
problem -- while requests for one of those pages are indeed handled over 
SSL, resources included inline in the page (like images) are not 
delivered over SSL. So you get a warning in your browser (which, 
depending on the browser, can range from a quiet information message to 
a full-out screaming warning page) telling you that the page isn't 
*completely* secure, which (understandably) freaks people out.

So my question is -- how do you get TYPO3 to deliver a *complete* page 
over SSL, including modifying the URLs of static resources so they are 
delivered securely too? Is there some way to configure/extend HTTPS 
Enforcer to do that? Is there another extension that's better in this 
scenario? Or am I just completely out of luck?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
