GOAL:
What are the requirements for the WebSpeed application in order to use HTTPS?
GOAL:
Are there any changes I should make to my webspeed application before deploying it in HTTPS environment?
FIX:
There are no specific requirements for the WebSpeed application to work over HTTPS protocol apart from having the web server with the installed digital certificate used by the SSL and therefore HTTPS protocol.
However, the application developers should avoid using hardcoded URLs such as:
http://servername.com/products/update.r
The hardcoded URL would cause the user's browser to go to the unsecured URL, therefore avoiding usage of the HTTPS protocol. It is better always to use relative URL paths as in:/products/update.r
This will cause the browser to prepend host url with the url that preceded the originating request and in the case where it was the https://servername, that would be used to form the complete url when accessing the requested resource.
