addedValues Plugin

A report option, "RSS feed must be SSL" is available for Reports whose usage is RSS. If set, it ensures that any calls to the rssLink macro will generate urls with https:// schemes and that all RSS feeds using this report use a secure server. This requires that Frontier be running a SSL capable web server; such as the one supplied by Macrobyte Resources (<http://tls.macrobyte.net/>). If a feed is requested from a none SSL url (http scheme rather than https) , addedValues attempts to redirect the request to the corresponding secure port, an attempt that may fail if a secure server isn't installed (fails with script error) or isn't running (browser detects timeout).

An similar query option "RSS feed must be SSL" has also been added, setting it means the query can be part of an RSS feed only if served from a secure server. Other uses of the query are not currently limited in any way, thought that may change in the future.

Since addedValues RSS urls always end with path relative to the home page in one fo the following ways

a prefix /addedValuesPI/rss/
the name of an RRS report (optional, but returns the same as the standard Manila url)
optionally the name of a query used to select messages for the feed.

setting the flag on either the query or the report will ensure the feed is secured, however if the user drops the /<queryname> from the url, secure serving will only be enforced if the report flag is also set, so it is more useful to set the option on the report than the query.
