Re: Concerns about the use and lack of use of HTTPS with ICMS
Posted by tedsmith on 1290533128
Guys
OK - I've copied the latest theme_blocks.php file overwriting my older version (as it's obviously been added to the latest ICMS ver and yes, I will upgrade from .2 to .3 soon).
I've changed the path in mainfile to https... and that works a treat. All the URLs automatically go to https.
Trouble is I am struggling applying the htaccess stuff that David posted so users can still access http versions of https content, including, for example, when they get to the site from Google that links to http version so the homepage at least is, by default, set to http until they click on one of the links on the site - I can't rely on users to do that.
I share the server with Brashquido and I'm sure he has enabled ISAPI-rewrite but I don't know how to use it. I will ask him via e-mail unless you guys know an easy way to apply that code using IIS7 and Win 2008.
