Summary: When using https for admin, cookies not always sent securely

Initial Comment:
When the admin has been set to use https, the request
for serendipity_admin.css is still sent over plain http
and the cookies get sent along. This leaks the
authentication data which is stored in a cookie.

Hi!

Ah! You must set "Auto-Detect HTTP Host" in your serendipity
configuration, so that the 'baseURL' directive will
automatically switch to the host you use.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hmm, I'm using the 1.0.1

All other requests do go neatly by https except the one for
serendipity_admin.css

I think serendipity_rewriteURL is adding the http from 
$serendipity['baseURL'].  My base URL is http, only the
admin part is set to use ssl.

Hi!

Which s9y version are you using? It works for me, since all
URLs in s9y's admin backend are either relative (and thus
use the current host) or if absolute, use the 'https://' prefix?

Best regards,
