Deleted cookie, cache, bookmark, closed browser.  Opened browser and used the https URL however the new link/url doesn't show https and says site contains no identity data.  DM, is this what you meant about IP propagating to ISP taking time? I am using FF V24.0 on WinXP SP2.  Thnx.

Tech question on this.

 

1. Are you trying to have the entire site run through SSL or just the page where you login?

2. I would assume a redirect is in place when a user goes to http://njdevs.com, that redirects them to the SSL address https://njdevs.com, however that is not the case.

 

Seems like any navigation trying to go through SSL just redirects back to the non ssl link.

 

If the site runs apache this can be easily fixed with a mod_rewrite rule in the .htaccess file.

 

i.e. adding the following would let the entire forum run under SSL if that is your intended use:

RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTPS} offRewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}:443%{REQUEST_URI}

Good info Jonny, Thanks. At the moment the forum software doesn't handle full site SSL too well so it is just for the log in and sign up pages. It sounds like the new version coming out will have better SSL integration.

Ok, got it.  The login uses ajax so you would essentially never see the https in the address bar when logging in, you would only see it in the address bar when on the registration page.  Makes sense.

:hail: Thank you so very much.

 

ETA: Typed too soon.  When I delete cookies, cache, history, close browser, open browser and go to forums, I do not see a https anywhere, even when I login.  I am assuming this is okay.
