Hi,

I am not having much luck using the form\_tag with a protocol. I try  
the following in my view: index.rhtml

\<%= form\_tag({:controller =\> ‘home’,:action =\> ‘login’,:protocol =\>  
‘https’},{:method =\> ‘post’}) %\>

hoping it would generate

but I got the following

I also tried to sanity check by just doing

\<%= url\_for :controller =\> ‘home’,:action =\> ‘login’,:protocol =\>  
‘https’ %\>, and I still just get ‘/home/login’ as the resulting string.

Anyone see where I am going astray?

Thanks,  
Curtis

Try

\<%= form\_tag({:controller =\> ‘home’,:action =\> ‘login’,:protocol =\>  
‘https://’, :only\_path =\> false},{:method =\> ‘post’}) %\>
