[TYPO3-core] RFC: #11950: [Feature]: Support for SSL and absolute Links

I agree with the question: has this been tested with RealURL and 
cross-domain linking?

However I find the feature useful. config.absRefPrefix is a very general 
that will apply to all links. Sometimes it is desirable to make a 
single, specific link absolute. Futhermore the patch in its latest 
version is even more useful, since any protocol can be declared. It 
might be occasionally useful to make ftp:// links, for example.

But what I'm wondering about is how well this plays with 
config.absRefPrefix? Has this been tested? I don't have time to give it 
a shot right now.

Cheers
