Images on Non-Secure Server, How to ref from Secure Server

[ibuyo]

Hello,

 

Sorry to all those people out there who are sick of helping newbies but hey you've gotta start somewhere :)

 

I have a non secure server - http://www.mydomain.com.au/ and a secure server https://www.secureserver.com.au/mydomain/.

 

Currently i have my catalog directory located at http://www.mydomain.com.au/catalog/

 

and a duplicate (for secure connections) at https://www.secureserver.com.au/mydomain/catalog/

(which in actual fact is http://www.mydomain.com.au/secure/catalog/).

 

This seems to work fine with an acceptable amount of space wastage.

 

However, i want the image directory to reside only on the non-secure section of the site (i.e. http://www.mydomain.com.au/images/) as duplicating the image directory would significantly increase space wastage.

 

My problem is that i can see no way of referencing the "http://www.mydomain.com.au/images/" directory from the secure server. I have tried setting the image path on the secure server to "../../images/" but this ends in the URL of "https://www.secureserver.com.au/images/". I can set an absolute reference (or "hard-code") the image path but when i do this i get an error about displaying non-secure and secure items.

 

Can anyone help me with this problem?

 

Regards,

Stuart

Spot the idiot :oops:

 

For some reason i managed to get it into my head that having the images directory in the secure folder would somehow magically make the directory secure.... wrong :wink:

 

For those of you who are still lost - i only needed one instance of the images directory - in the https://www.mydomain.com.au/secure/images/, that way both the secure and the non-secure sections of the site could reference the same directory by modifying the appropriate values in the two local/configure.php files.

I have a non secure server - http://www.mydomain.com.au/ and a secure server https://www.secureserver.com.au/mydomain/.

 

I am assumming that you set your secure server url (with no trailing slash) at setup to

https://www.secureserver.com.au/mydomain/

or maybe

https://www.secureserver.com.au/~mydomain/

:?:

 

That is how you would call your images also.

src="https://www.secureserver.com.au/mydomain/imageurl"

or maybe

src="https://www.secureserver.com.au/~mydomain/imageurl"

 

You only need these on https pages or the browser will generate a warning.
