that worked. thank you. i tried using the easy route. although you’re fix wasn’t so hard either. kewl. thanks. why doesn’t it work with the https plugin do you think?

i use network solutions as my web host,
and they’ve responded to my SSL issues as such:

I am sorry to see you are having issues with redirects on your
hosting. Our SSL proxy doesn’t allow server-side variables to detect
HTTPS (secure). All server-side coding will always detect HTTP
(non-secure), and for programs that attempt to redirect non-secure
connections (https://) to a secure connection (https://) will result in
an infinite loop and server error after 30 seconds (newer technology
browsers such as Firefox will detect this loop almost immediately and
give up before 30 seconds). We cannot change this setting on our
servers. As nsHosting Shared is not a PCI compliant solution and not
meant for taking online transactions, the security workarounds below
are the only ways around this.

1) Assume the connection is secure by making all the links to the
sensitive pages https, or
2) use a client-side code (like javascript) to detect if it’s secure
and redirect if it’s not. The coding below will do just that. Just
modify it to redirect to the correct secure domain and add it into the
HTML of any sensitive pages.

<script language=”javascript”>
if (document.location.protocol != “https:”)
{
document.location.href = “https://secure.domain.com&#8221; +
document.location.pathname;
};
</script>

Mike,

I’ve sent you an email directly with what I got from my web host. Thanks for your help.

account created. you should get your email from me.

running the query worked; it successfully activated.

BUT

it still doesn’t work:

“Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

?????????

Yes I do believe so. V1.9.2 and the 2.0 dev version.

hello,

I’ve tried your new version and upon attempting to activate the plugin, it tries to redirect my admin console to https and i get an error stating redirecting in a way that will never resolve, or something along those lines. i’m using this in firefox (latest version).

hello all; where do we stand on this issue? has it been figured out yet or is there a new version of the plugin to try? Thanks.

Anything new? I’m trying to setup my shopping cart and would like to have that page served over SSL if i can….

haha, i take that back. http pages now don’t work. only the ssl one.

yes the dev version appears to work.

no but i will now….standby.

i’m using netsol hosting and i purchased the ssl cert so i believe it’s private.

yes it does. i just checked it using the twenty-ten theme which if I remembered correctly, is the default.
