base_url() and SSL

[eluser]jdgiotta[/eluser]
We've set up a SSL for user verification and up until now I've been using base_url() to give me the application path for the form submission.

However, now I need to submit the form a HTTPS URL. Can base_url() still be used or is there a better solution?

Cheers,

You can use base_url and change it in config.php to add https: when the protocol is https. See this thread for examples: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/60181/
