[Zope-CMF] SSLAbsoluteURL bug with CMF

[Farrell, Troy]

Has anyone seen this bug when using CMF with SSLAbsoluteURL?  I asked Ron
(who wrote SSLAbsoluteURL) and he had no idea.  It appears as though the
image URLs are being created by taking absolute_url() and slicing it.  You
can observe the bug in action at
https://www.studyshare.net/studyshare/testnews1.  Any suggestions are
welcome.  Please copy me as I am not on the list.

I haven't seen this and you're the first to point it out.  I have no
experience with CMF, so unfortunately I don't even know where to begin.
Perhaps CMF is using absolute_url in some interesting ways, causing
SSLAbsoluteURL to behave badly.  Let me know if you get any suggestions from
the CMF crew.
