I'm trying to make a website that has an affiliate software secure (make url HTTPS), so when I refer to the website in the tracking code on another site, it would work. For example, I want "https://website.com/affiliate/" to be found, so I can use the affiliate link in a way like "https://website.com/affiliate/?a_aid=testaff&chan=kindofchannel". Notice the "https" instead of "http". Currently it would only work for HTTP, what code would I add to the .htaccess so the "HTTPS" would work? Thanks in advance!! BTW I believe this is done through .htaccess, i'm using post affiliate pro 4, but if there's another way let me know. Also i'm willing to hire someone to do this, easy $$, send me your AIM/MSN and we'll discuss!
You'll be able to follow a .htaccess tutorial at http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=440 Also have a look at HTTPS http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=881 Hope this will help
If you have an SSL certificate installed on your server, it's easy. However, you need to purchase a certificate and have it installed before you can use it. I have .htaccess code that'll force a visitor to land on the https version of a page, and I'll PM that to you in a few minutes -- maybe that'll work for you.
