What's the best way in cakephp to extend the html-link function so that I can
tell it to output a secure(https) link?
Right now, I've added my own secure_link function to app_helpers that's basically a
copy of the link function but adding a https to the beginning.
But it seems like there should be a better way of overriding the html-link method so that I can specify a secure option.

I also started a thread on the
google groups and someone suggested
doing something like
$html->link('my account', array('base' => 'https://', 'controller' => 'users'));
but I couldn't get that working.
Just to add, this is what is outputted when I have the above code.
<a href="/users/index/base:https:/">my account</a>
I think there's a bug in the cake/libs/router.php on line 850. There's a keyword 'bare' and I think it should be 'base' Though changing it to base doesn't seem to fix it.
From what I gather, it's telling it to exclude those keys that are passed in so that they don't get included as parameters. But I'm puzzled as to why it's a 'bare' keyword and the only reason I can come up with is that it's a type.
