I'm pretty sure it's just an issue of using HTTPS for encrypted pages and
HTTP for unencrypted. For example:
http://www.example.com
is unencrypted and pulls from port 80 on the web server. Whereas,
https://www.example.com
would be encrypted and come from port 443 on the web server.
You can tell whether you're in encrypted mode or not by checking the
variable:
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on"
One thing to check, anchors with no protocol specified default to the
current protocol. If you're in an encrypted page and have a link like this:
<a href='/index.php'>Home Page</a>
The protocol will default to https and this may be the source of the problem
you're experiencing.

Hi Ed,
Maybe it's just one of those slow days, brain-wise. But I have a 'problem'
with https remaining in that mode even on pages that haven't specifically
requested it. That was not my understanding how it worked. Now, if I have to
call "http" on pages that do not need https, then how would I be able to
distinguish whether or not the mode is https or not.
[I'm thinking of my bank's secure pages -- after I'm finished with
the secure stuff, I get booted out of https. I suppose that's what I
expected
would happen (only pages calling https would be in it.)
Sigh . . . more reading to do :>
Regards,
Andre
