This middleware redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS for some specified URLs, in the same way as [85](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/85/). It also changes the `url` template tag to use the `https` scheme for the same URLs. For example, if you have the following URL pattern:
url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login', {'https': True})
then the template:
{% from future import url %}
{% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %}
will render:
https://host.example.com/accounts/login/
and any plain HTTP requests to /accounts/login get redirected to HTTPS. URL patterns not marked with `'https': True` remain unaffected.
Notes:
* The HttpRequest object must be present in the template context as `request`, so add `django.core.context_processors.request` to `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` and make sure to use `RequestContext`.
* This snippet overrides the existing `url` template tag. Remove the last line and register the new `url` function properly, as a separate tag, if this makes you unhappy. You'd then have to change your templates to use it.
* It would be nicer to change the way reverse look-ups behave instead of changing only the `url` template tag, but the URL resolver, and the `reverse` function, know nothing about requests, so have no way to find the correct host name.

I'm working on a Project where on certain places I need absolute URL's, in development mode I need the port 8000 added to any absolute url.
This piece of work, took me some time to figure out. Couldn't find something similiar on the net, it's based on Code from the Python urlparse module.
You can change the "settings.PORT" part to "settings.DEBUG == True" if you like, and so on.
