Rails - May 2006 - Posting a form to a secure target?

All,

If I want my form action to be a secure target, what is the best way to 
go about doing that?

I''m trying to do:

<%= start_form_tag( { :protocol => ''https://'', :host
=> request.host +
'':3001'', :action => ''login'' } ) %>

in my view, but this doesn''t seem to generate a URL with https:// and
my
SSL host in it.

What am I missing?

OK, my start_form_tag specification doesn''t work because the url_for in
ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper forces the "only_path" option to
url_for
in ActionController::Base to be true, which means that the protocol and 
host will be ignored.

Can someone explain to me why UrlHelper.url_for is coded this way?

Thanks,
Wes
