#367 The 'hits_table' (Karyotype.pm) doesn't always respect httpS

[Dan Bolser]

The hits_table in Bio/Graphics/Karyotype.pm doesn't always respect httpS:// links. This happens in the 'Position' column of the table, while the 'Name' column gets it right.

I run GBrowse out of a httpS:// URL scheme, and the links under the Name column of the hits_table were correctly showing the httpS:// part of the URL. However, links under the Position column were showing http://, and were therefore dead when clicked on my setup.

I've attached a patch to fix this issue.

The patch. See @@ -358,7 +360,7 @@, other diffs are cosmetic

[Dan Bolser]

Bah, my own fault for creating confusing diffs.

The line of interest is:

- my $url = url(-path_info=>1)."?name=";
+ my $url = url(-absolute=>1, -path_info=>1)."?name=";

Ignore my comment about 'See @@ -358,7 +360,7 @@'!
