proxy server for ssl (https://)

Hi,
my ISP uses a proxy server for secured pages (https protocol). Is there a turorial how to set the links properly? I want this only on my checkout pages but if a customer clicks the browser back button, it stays within https:
It works in the way that it adds:
mydomain.com

any idea?
thanks

there are 2 methods pf doing this:

1) Use php code on all of your pages to force the browser to use the HTTPS address:

<?php

if( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 80) {

header('Location:https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

die();

}

?>

on pages that should not use the https address, use this code:

<?php

if( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 80) {

header('Location:http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

die();

}

?>

2) Use an httaccess rule and mod_rewrite:
force-ssl-htaccess.html

<?php

if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$testRedirect = "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$c = curl_init();
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $testRedirect);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 90);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
$result = curl_exec($c);
if ($result) {
header("location: ".$testRedirect);
die();
}
it is not redirecting to https....help! Thank you

if that code does not redirect to https, then https is not enabled for your server, there is no ssl certificate enabled.

Okay, my hosting company states this
Regardless of whether the ssl is installed properly the redirecting of the site to the https url is done through the software you're using and is usually configured somewhere in the administration area (often there will be some place to specify the secure url for the site where you can set it to www.silkpl....etc or check a box that enables the secure checkout). Since I'm not familiar with the software you're using I don't know where that would be specifically but it should be in the admin area somewhere.

power store does not have a setting to turn ssl on or off.


the code block you reference in your first post is used to determine whether the https address can be accessed or not.

if you access the checkout page using the address;
checkout.php

that code block tests the address:
checkout.php

if it can successfully access the https address, it will redirect to the https address. If it is not redirecting, then the test for the https address failed because SSL is turned of at that address.
