[hobbit] Strange "problem" with refreshes

[Scott Wilson]

I found the answer.  It's pretty simple really...

I was using SSL with my hobbit server.  With SSL'ed web pages, refreshes 
force you back to the top of the page.  NonSSL'ed web pages (which I had 
totally disabled) work fine.

Now I just need to hack up the header files so the secure areas point to 
SSL even when I'm looking at the nonSSL pages.  But as I already ran into 
the header files while debugging this, that should be trivial.

Thanks for the help!
