Https / Secure URL for Magento Links

Creating an secure link in Magento is pretty easy. You can use getUrl() function instead of using hardcoded https link. To do so, you need to insert one paramater in your getUrl() function to make your link an secure one. See Examples below.

Creating a link to onestepcheckout page

To get the URL in Magento Controller in http

<a href="<?php echo Mage::getUrl('onestepcheckout/’) ?>"></a>Checkout

This will produce a url like http://www.example.com/onestepcheckout/

Now you want to redirect to the secure version. Easy.
For mage core

<a href="<?php echo Mage::getUrl('onestepcheckout/, array('_secure'=>true)) ?>"></a>Checkout 

For phtml File you can do this:

<a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('onestepcheckout/, array('_secure'=>true)) ?>"></a>Checkout 

For Static Block

<a href="{{base url=’ 'onestepcheckout/’,array(‘_secure’ =>true)}}</a>Checkout
