redirecting from https to http

[Anon]

I'm creating a login system where people enter their username/password on a secure form, I do authentication with a database, and then I need to redirect them to a non secure page.

I'm doing the redirect with header("Location: http://www.url.com"). When I do the redirect, browsers complain that they are being redirected to a non secure site, and I might be trying to steal their first born or something.

Many sites (eg: Hotmail) do this without any kind of warning messages. Any ideas how?

One way to get rid of warning messages from secure servers is to have the page that is doing to relocating....inside a frameset.

It doesn't have to be a fully blown framed up page......something like this would do.

<frameset rows="100%,*">
<frame src="main_page.php3">
<frame src="blank_page.html">
</frameset>

I am sorry but the above solution did not solve my problem which is exactly same as mentioned in the query.

I too have exactly the same problem .... and Scottd's solution does not work. Doing it like the way he described, the connection remains https.

(Ken: Interesting choice of words and the best description for the way the message appears on the browser)

I am amazed I did not think of this.

Best...
