Rails - Nov 2005 - Link_to :protocol and :host?

Hello,

I am trying to set the protocol and host in link_to based on the
documentation.

I have the following:

<%= link_to "View Cart", {:controller =>
''store'', :action => ''view_cart'',
:protocol => ''https://'', :host =>
''secure.host.com''} %>

I would expect this to generate a https link to another host.

Instead, all I get is:

<a href="/store/view_cart">View Cart</a>

Have I misunderstood the url_for specs?

Thanks,
Hunter

link_to "View Cart", {:controller => ''store'',
:action => ''view_cart'',
:protocol => ''https://'', :host =>
''secure.host.com'', :only_path => false}

:only_path is true by default in the scope of ActionView::Helpers (eg.
all views), so :protocol and :host will have no effect unless
:only_path=>false is forced.

Cheers,
JS

Thanks.

Perhaps a bug should be filed on the documentation? I don''t think this
is
mentioned anywhere.
