Firefox SSL security warning

[paul3648]

I've just been looking at a few other ZC sites, and it seems that links to products are always on HTTP, so I guess I should hard-code my custom links to HTTP, right?

That way the customer will always view the product details on a non-secure page. Is that how ZC is designed?

You can see it on almost any ZC site. Go to one of the product description pages - add an 's' to the URL so that you're viewing it on https, then click the "add to cart" button and you will get the warning. Firefox only - no warning in IE.

Although I was able to duplicate what paul3648 was saying, I don't see the problem?

As product pages do not use an SSL connection anyway, as it would slow down the Visitor's Browsing, when would this situation be a problem?

[paul3648]

Perhaps I am the only one this will affect, because I've created a box of product links on my home page that link directly to the product description page. I've done this because I want product links above the fold, and I also want the content of my home page.

So I'm guessing that I can simply hard-code my product links to http and that should be OK. Right?

Not sure I understand the question? Your site does not use an 'https' connection for the product pages. In fact, I don't see any places other than the usual ones that use an 'https' connection.

As I mentioned above, when a customer follows this sequence at my site, the product description page will be delivered on https:

1. Log in
2. Follow one of my custom links to a product page.

The custom links are coded into the define file for the main page as relative links. So I think I should change them to absolute links to resolve this problem.

I guess I shouldn't even be mentioning this... I guess no-one else will lay out their site in this manner.

I think I can just hard code the links to http, since that seems to be the standard way to reach a product description page.

Right?
