Yes I have tested it on ssl. The change seems to be in the onbeginrequest method where it checks to see if the tab requires ssl and the request is not secure.

One thing I have noticed is that this upgrade does not seem to handle shared certificates. It works great if your cert is for the same domain eg http://domain.com -> https://domain.com but if you are using a shared certificate you get a new session on the secure site which makes it difficult if you are going to use ssl for your login page. I had to put in a hack to make it work for my site which is using a shared cert...

Excuse me, I am completely stupid with SSL, but what will happen if I upgrade with Friendly URL to the latest 04.05.04 and I do not use SSL ?? Is it a problem, or could you "disable" SSL in 04.05.04 ??? I am sure that the question is stupid, but I would like to be sure before upgrading (nevertheless, I will wait 04.05.05 which add stability for some couple of bugs).

Hi Scott,

We've been using your awesome rewriter on our site and it solves several problems we faced with the "stock" DNN rewriter including supporting human friendly urls. We recently upgraded to 4.5.5 with the desire to use SSL. I'll be darned if I could get the your 4.x rewriter to work with any 4.5.5 SSL enabled page. I can't give up the human friendly formats so I've had to drop back the SSL for now. sigh

Do you have any plans to update your rewriter soon? Fingers crossed:)

Thanks.

4.5.4+ adds a new property to the tabs object called "IsSecure" and uses Request.IsSecureConnection to figure out whether the connection needs to be switched http>https or https>http

To switch between http and https it uses a response.redirect and to switch https to http it uses a meta refresh (have a look at the bottom of the OnBeginRequest method). I thought this switch was a bit of a kludge so I modified the FriendlyURLProvider to write out a http link if Tab.IsSecure=False and a https link if Tab.IsSecure=True and then this switching code is not used.

Some goods news...maybe. We were able to update Scott's project so that it handles SSL enabled tabs for DNN build up to 4.5. We're currently testing it on our site http://www.snapforseniors.com. So far it does the http(s) switching as well as human friendly page name support, etc. We could use some hits to help test...although the only pages we have secured at the moment are the registration and logins.

I'm happy to post the updated project/code changes. Scott, do you want me to do that here or email them to you direct so you can determine their code-worthiness. Ideally we've rather give the changes back so the project can benefit from them.

Ralph,

I can't speak for Scott, but I'd love to see what you have on the project. You can email me @ cismitty AT gmail.com.

Thanks in advance,

I eagerly read this thread, hoping that there was a solution, but am I to understand that the newer version is going to be for DNN 4.6?  I'm running DNN 4.5.5 and was hoping to use this too.

Thanks for the clarification,

Dean.
