When someone goes to the form via http I need the form to go to https

[olchik]

Hello,

Please help. The acctual link should start from http, but once clicked it should go to

https://...

I have no idea how to do it:-(

Thank you

whatever you click, send it to https://

so if it;s a form submit button

<form name="myForm" action="

https://..."

...>

Thank you for your response, but you didn't understand me
It's a link to feedback form that sits on many pages on our web site. It is now

https://...../feedback.cfm.

It needs to be changed to

http://...../feedback.cfm

on all the pages, but when clicked on that link it should still be redirected to

https://...../feedback.cfm.

It's not about action it's about link itself.

Thank you
Olchik

then you would do a global find and replace and put this

<a href="

https://..../feedback.cfm">http://.../feedback.cfm</a>

or...

<a href="

http://..../feedback.cfm">http://.../feedback.cfm</a>

on the top of your

http://.../feedback.cfm,

you will
have
<cflocation template="

https://.../feedback.cfm">

or you can play with your iis for a redirect.

many ways to work around this issue...

The file itself is located on Secure Server, but for some reason they cannot put <a href="

https://..../feedback.cfm>

why does it need to get changed back to http:// ? you want to link to a secure file but do not want to use https in the link- i think you would have to link to another file like redirect.cfm which would send to a secure file

<a href="

http://domain.com/redirect.cfm?page=feedback">

then on that cflocate to the ssl side

but for the life of me i cannot see why you would want to.

check the cgi variable that specifies if https is used or not, if not, send to the https:// url.

checking the cgi variable will work unless you have security requiring SSL in the directory the feedback page is in. if that is the case you will have to setup a redirect.

I tried it, but for some reason it didn't catch http or https part...I used CGI.Sever_name If you know CGI variable that will catch this I would appreciate if you tell me.

That's not me who wants to do it. Don't ask me why, but I work in different department(New Media). Big part of web site is managed by IT. I was the one who wrote the form, but they put links to it on web site. And they just told me they need link that starts from http, but the form itself should remain on secure server. They already have something like this with another form, but apparently they don't want to tell me how did they do it. They want me to do it by myself.

cfdump = "#cgi#"

and see what you have to play with...

IT does not always know whats going on with web based technology when they are so into desktop apps.

Thank you imstillatwork

I will try tomorrow.
Our IT has 5 programmers in there...pretty strong programmers. I am sure they know what they are doing... The only thing that surprises me is that they aren't willing to help. When I asked to look at the source code to see how they did it, they asked me what I tried to do...
I hope tomorrow I would be able to see the code...though I am already sorry I asked.

 

[NorthStarDA]

the variable you need to check is cgi.https, the value will be on or off. there are others that you can check as well like cgi.server_protocol.

NorthStarDA - Shhhhhh..... I've been trying to get people to troubleshoot / cfdump on their own lately! Keep it down!
