Webhelp with https:// links instead of http:// ?

[Mike Linacre]

Folks: where's the HM setting to force all webhelp links to be https:// instead of http:// ?

At present I do this with a global replace in the .htm files after publishing to webhelp, but there must be an easier way!

Thanks

Hi Mike,

You need to do this when you create your web links in the topic editor. There isn't an option for updating them globally from within Help+Manual, since they are all created manually and it is up to you to enter the http:// or https:// prefix. However, instead of doing the global replace on your output it would be more efficient to do it on your XML topic files instead. Then you only need to do it once.

Hi Mike,

If the links are to your own server, you can leave them on http in H&M and force a redirection to https in the server settings:
