Fredrik.r Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 When activating SSL osC automatically use https in some links on every page in my shop. Explorer does not seem to like http and https links mixed in one page and therefor doesnt show the secure lock. How do I get rid of all those alert warnings? My shop is secure but since not ALL links use https Explorer doesnt think of my page as secured.. Using SSL everywhere in my shop will make it slower.. Is there a way to use SSL only during checkout, when the customer is about to fill in the credit card number? How did all of you osc-users solve this SSL issue with Explorer?

How did all of you osc-users solve this SSL issue with Explorer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think it's an explorer problem You will find that on the pages that give you an error you have in there a reference with a path that begins http: - hence unsecure - all the ssl cert is doing is alerting the browser that there is a reference on the page that is not secured and thios will happen regardless of browser What you need to do is go to each page with the error - it may even be something in your footer for instance and make sure no hard coded references to http: exist AND also you are not referencing images or pages or anything else - e.g logos - from somebody elses server - sometimes people will do this in good faith suct as a payment gateways logo hosted by them. Finally make sure your configure files have the correct paths for the https: which should be the domain name and not the url i.e the path for https: should not have www in it. hth Charles A kite flies highest AGAINST the wind !

Fredrik.r Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks. Ok, is it better to use https in all paths rather than mixing relative and https paths? I suppose using just SSL will slow down my site. The same thing when using only relative paths with STS according to the STS readme file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredrik.r Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I think im quite close now.. But, why does not, for example, the information box get https paths in an ssl page? osC should give ALL paths on ssl pages https paths.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSL is meant to protect info \ data such as personal \ bank details - why protect privacy statements etc ? :huh: Charles A kite flies highest AGAINST the wind !
