Mal E Commerce - Security Warning

Freeway
1

Hi,

I recently changed the .htaccess file so that my site shows up as https however now when anyone clicks to but something from the site they hat a Security Warning about the insecure connection.

I guess it’s because in the Code the link to Mac E Commerce is http: but does anyone know how I can modify it to https ?

Thanks in advance

The Action that creates this URL is bundled into the Freeway application itself, and is encoded so it cannot be updated by outsiders. Softpress will need to issue an update in order to fix this.

I could try writing an add-on Action that would locate these “www.aitsafe.com” URLs and rewrite their protocol, but I don’t know if Mals uses the same hostname for secure as they do for non-secure connections, and I’m not clear whether I could get my Action to fire at the correct stage of publishing in order to override these links. Because the Action is encoded, I can’t read it and see which publishing “stage” I would need to set my Action in. I was able to make the HTTPS CDN Helper because I was overriding Actions I had written myself, and could read and inspect.

Stabbing in the dark, I made this:

http://actionsforge.com/actions/https-helper

Please apply it to each page that hosts a Mals Cart, and let me know if this is enough to fix the problem for you. I hope so, since Jeremy has his hands full converting Freeway to 64-bit.

Hi Walter,

Thanks for this info. I applied the HTTPS Helper to the affected pages and it has resolved the issue.

Thanks again.
