Hi,


My website runs with  SSL certificate. But now all the links are forced to https Is there a rewrite rule to:


If you put a A href a a link this is not forced to https?

This is how SSL certificate works

Hi Ross,


So there is no way to exclude external links from the HTTPS? If you create a link on FB for exampl you just go to the link provided as is right?

Unfortunately no

So for clarification, Ross. If we run oxwall on SSL - all external links will rewrite to https. Effectively making it impossible to post non secure links on the system?
ross Team
ross Jan 26 '15
Yes, this is how SSL works

*Mind Blown* - We must be able to tell the system to open a new, non secure tab, for external http links? There has to be a way... The machines can not take over (just yet) haha

I do not understand.

When I post an external HTTP link in the newsfeed status, I get the mixed content error on any browser. Oxwall did not rewrite this link to HTTPS.


Links in Profile Fields will be rewritten immediately to https.

This is how the newsfeed works under SSL, because what it the resource you have posted does not support SSL, in this case you will have an error, which is why you have security warning mixed content error. 


As to the links in the profile fields, please elaborate what kind of profile fields are you talking about? how did you insert those links, during registration? if not, when ?

I just tested on my test website. See screenshot


PM me your admin details I'll take a look at the issue.

Yes, and when you open profile/edit again and click save, the link change from http: to https.

Give it a try

Yes, I was able to reproduce that and have passed it to our developers. Thanks for the report.
