Re: Webroot problem when accessing cake app through service provider's SSL

I can get the system to work with a VERY ugly fix:

In layout if i replace these:

echo $html->css('cake.generic'); => echo preg_replace( "/ssl/",
"thesite.com", $html->css('cake.generic') );
echo $content_for_layout; => echo preg_replace( "/ssl/",
"thesite.com", $content_for_layout );
etc.

But I really don't like doing it like this. If anyone has a better
suggestion please tell me!
