=== [[20_baseurls.pl]] ===
* '''base_url''' - URL including protocol and hostname, used as a basis whenever a full URL for a specific location needs to be generated. (By default generated from other settings).
* '''perl_url''' - URL including protocol and hostname, used as a basis whenever a full URL for a specific CGI script needs to be generated. (By default generated from other settings).
* '''use_long_url_format''' - Use long URLs for abstract pages / documents (e.g. <code>/id/eprint/1234</code> or <code>/id/eprint/1234/1/paper.pdf</code> rather than <code>/1234</code> or <code>/1234/1/paper.pdf</code>.  Will redirect from short to long URL rather than long to short.  (Default is <code>0</code>, do not use long URLs).
* '''uri_url''' - Set the base URL for URIs for data objects (e.g. eprint items). If the EPrints was originally HTTP but has been [[Simplified HTTPS Configuration|reconfigured to be an HTTPS only]], then the URIs for eprints will also change to HTTPS.  This may be undesirable, as URIs may only serve their purpose if they match exactly.  This allows HTTP to be retained for URIs but they should still be able to redirect to HTTPS if used as URLs.  (By default this is commented out so URIs will just use <code>base_url</code>).
