Question
When I place a Subscription form on an HTTPS site, it generates a security error on submit. Is there any way to make that work without the error?
Answer
As long as you are on the SaaS or a Broadcaster that uses an SSL certificate, you can create a Subscription Form that will work on an HTTPS page without generating a security error.
Here are the changes that need to be made:
- In the generated Subscription Form code, change the form "action" to the Secure URL for the SaaS (or Broadcaster):
For the SaaS, change:
<form action="http://whatcounts.com/bin/listctrl" method="POST">
To:
<form action="https://secure.whatcounts.com/bin/listctrl" method="POST"> - You must also make sure the landing page is an https page. For example:
<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="https://www.mysecuresite.com" />
If the form action is not changed to a valid secure site or the "goto" value is left as the default (value=""), a Security error will appear.
