I have an ASP page that I need to pass price information to a page in a shared SSL folder. Can Someone please help me solve this problem.
 
what exactly is your problem?? We're going to need more to go on if we are to help you.

When I attenpt to pass the price information from my http: hosted page to my https: page which is in a shared folder I can not access the information because I use a url to get to the secure shared folder. My price totals are calculated on the http: asp page and I need to be able to get these totals on the secure page to pass to the credit card authorization company. I hope this is specific enough!
 
You can use form values to do this... although this is not all that secure.. since anyone could essentially change the HTML and submit that instead of the actual calculations..

Your best bet is to store your price's in a database and only pass the ID values of the items to your SSL, which in turn could grab the values and process them on the SSL side of things and submit the values..

I am still unclear as to why you would get anyone to enter purchase information on a non-secure page and only pass them to the secure site for the CC Gateway... the CC Gateway doesn't need the SSL website to do its thing..

Maybe its just late and I haven't understood your question very well..

Anyhow, I hope this has helped,

Cheers.

Maybe you will understand it this way better.
I'm using a shared SSL and whenever I send a user into secure mode, it leaves the site's domain. Once they've left, all session data and cookies that contain all the users cart contents are no longer accessible.
By the way thanks for your help it is much appreciated.
 
have you tried using cookies to store that information? Is there a reason you don't want to use cookies?

Cheers,

Gorkem.
 
I figured it out thank you for your help!
