A5_HTTP Function

Syntax

Mode as C = a5_http()

Returns

ModeCharacter: Either "http://" or "https://" depending on whether SSL is running.

Description

Returns either 'http://' or 'https://' depending on whether SSL is running.

Discussion

The A5_HTTP() function determines whether SSL is running. This is a useful function when you are constructing a URL. However, a more efficient way to determine if SSL was used for a request of an executing A5W page is to look at the value of ServerSetting.SSL_Enabled.

Example

? a5_http()
= "http://"

This example displays the ServerSetting.SSL_Enabled on an A5W page.
