The newer versions don't seem so integrated with SSI. It seems there really are only two ways of checking against this.. PORT or by the URL (looking for the "s" in HTTPS). There is no [serverport] context in webdna and [thisurl] does not show the protocol.. so... I dunno.. anyone else have a good webdna solution?
