Hello,

Which parameters should I pass to form\_tag to force it to post to https?  
I tried this:  
form\_tag {:action =\> ‘someaction’, :protocol =\> ‘https’}  
But it gave just the action URL, not https. I don’t get an error and  
looking  
at the code from url\_for does not help me either, :protocol seems to be  
the  
right parameter to pass?

Regards,  
Bart

Add :only\_path =\> false.
