Allen Lee | SSL on Wed, 22 Sep 2004 20:26:32 -0700 Hi All; Our website employs: action="https://oursite.com/cgi-bin/waa1gate.exe" in the form tag of one page to invoke SSL when personal data is passed from the client to the server. All other pages use: action="/cgi-bin/waa1gate.exe" Our clients want to see the "security lock" icon on all pages even though NO personal data is being passed. They want the entire site secure not just the page where it is functional. Question: What changes need to be made to accomplish this? Do I need to add "https://oursite.com" before all "/cgi-bin/waa1gate.exe" ? Allen Lee Wilson | |

Yes. The 'S' at the end of HTTP instructs the browser to: a) use port 443 if no port is specified in the URL b) use SSL authentication Regards, Phil Ide *************************************** * Xbase++ FAQ, Libraries and Sources: * * goto: http://www.idep.org.uk/xbase * *************************************** War doesn't determine who's right, only who's left. |
