LLLLLLL Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If I'm on https://myserver.com/test.php, why is this form posting to the HTTP version of the page? <form method="post" action="test.php?step=1"> <input type="text" name="email"> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> I can hard-code the full path in the action, but that seems unnecessary. Further, I have some pages where it posts to HTTPS first (as I expect). Why would it go to one versus another?

requinix Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Because there's something else going on. Or in other words, not enough information. Is this online somewhere we can see?

LLLLLLL Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 The only additional information I have is that based on browser settings, a user might get "although this page is encrypted the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted network." This still doesn't make sense. It is an HTTPS page with a relative URL. How can it be posting as HTTP? Ugh.

LLLLLLL Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 The answer here was that there was a <base> element on the page that I forgot about. This <base> tag had the href in HTTP, not HTTPS. Eh voila. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/262280-why-is-my-https-form-posting-to-the-http-page/#findComment-1344472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
