[opencms-dev] HTTPS pages

[Ivan Biddles]

OK, my problem was due to some strange issues with publishing and is now
resolved.

However, I have an issue that I had asked about a few months ago which
is that once an HTTPS page is invoked, all the links in that page that
should go back to straight HTTP stay in HTTPS.

So once you go into HTTPS you can never leave it. This is very bad,
because depending upon browser settings you can end up with a dialog box
every time you click on a link that ought to be HTTP but is now being
invoked as HTTPS.

"This page contains both secure and non secure items. Do you want to
display the nonsecure items ?"

The problem seems to be with LinkSubstitution.getLinkSubstitution which
overrides the link resolution whenever the page is currently in HTTPS
mode.

I need to release my site very soon, so I would really appreciate some
ideas  on this.

Best wishes,
            Ivan

Subject: [opencms-dev] Images in HTTPS pages

Hi,

I have some pages that are defined as "https". When you click a link
from an http page, the https page comes up, but the images do not
appear.

These images are the same ones that appeared successfully on the
previous (http) page.

When I click on the space where the image should be and select
"Properties", the image name is defined as "https//....".

I haven't been able to find a way to specify that the images should
always be accessed via http. I have tried changing the
ruleset.dynamic_externrules but without success.

My page is defined as "export=https" and my images as "export=true".

(My configuration is 5.0 RC1 on W2K and Linux, with Tomcat 4.1.12 and
MySQL 4.0.4)

Does anyone know the right way to do this?

Thanks,
         Ivan
