Re: [tools, struts1] On an HTTPS page, link to HTTP URL includes port number :443

Glancing through this and through my own code, we were originally
using the SecureLinkTool which extends the StrutsLinkTool.

But now I have a custom class that extends LinkTool and completely
encodes the resulting url afterwards as we completely rewrite the url
to a different format for a variety of other non-related reasons.

If SecureLinkTool doesn't do what you want, I'd suggest you subclass
either SecureLinkTool or StrutsLinkTool to make it work the way you
want.   Once you've done this, you just replace your "link" tool with
your new class -- no other changes required in your templates or in
the way you've been using $link.
