Request: Allow HTTPS
Request: Allow HTTPS
Would it be possible to configure the forum to not redirect from the secure version of a page to the nonsecure version? The invalid certificate is not an issue, only the redirect. We've been having a little firesheep epidemic on campus lately...
If you use google chrome browser I know there are some extensions that force https.

maybe some similar add-ons for firefox
Some firewalls don't block https, so the oldest trick is to use the https "version" f the site.

I can do it but the cert will be self signed. Even then if someone can packet sniff you, SSL is hardly going to stop them if they really want your session.

Should be able to get a free one for the www subdomain, no?
And yes selfsigned would be an improvement, as long as you can save the cert before you go on an unsafe network you should be good.
Self signed is not a problem, the current one in the server is working, its only the forum software seems to redirect me from the secure to the nonsecure copy all the time, even with the Use HTTPS extension installed.
