unencrypted connection, how to encrypt?

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

unencrypted connection, how to encrypt?

Post by kryles »

I have a login page https://site.com/login.php

EDIT: Not my site, just a fake example URL I decided to use

all image paths have https in the beginning. The page it leads to also has https://site.com/cart.php and all images use https path.

I get this when I click continue though

"Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unecrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.

Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?"

How do I make the connection safe to get rid of this message? I'm just sending a password and username via POST

Any help is appreciated as my Mozilla Browser is annoying me now :banghead:

Your server has to be configured for https.

It sounds like the form method is http, instead of https
