Hi, sorry for the ambiguous subject, wouldn't let me be any longer.
My problem is that I have a shopping cart that's in an unsecure area of my site, and I need the information to get to the secure area without much trouble.
My reasons for having my shopping cart unsecure deal with the fact that the order form page is based on the same template as most of the other pages on the site, so in order for it to be secure, all the image SRCs have to be redefined as absolute and pointing to the secure address. This is a pain if I want to change the template, because I need to work on the orderform seperately.
Oh, and I'm handling persistent data with sessions.
Ok, so here's what I've tried:
1.Simply starting a session and clicking a secure link. No good. With cookies on, because the secure server is a slightly different address, it doesn't return the cookie containing the session id. With cookies off, it doesn't auto-append the Session id to the link, because it's an absolute link.
2.Same as latter above, but manually appending the link. Doesn't work, starts a new session.
Here's my current idea, but it's too much work:
On the order form, create hiddens to hold all the session data, then reconstitute it on the next page. This should work, but I would prefer to handle as little date through form submission and cookies as possible.
Is there any easy way to do this?
