Question

Hey people. I see that this topic is repeated over and over on SO but I tried several solutions posted here and none of them worked quite for me. So basically – I know how to change specific pages on my website so that they’re in https mode. However, I dunno how to rewrite the http requests that are INSIDE the code. So for example, if my page, say, payment.php, contains link that loads external ccs file like this -> http://example.com/somecss.css then google chrome will see it as dangerous link and display cross-red padlock next to site url. Now, I’ve tested it manually by changing all the http requests inside the code to https and the padlock magically became green so I guess I need some kind of mod rewrite rule that would rewrite all the links on those specific pages so that they would contain https. I hope I explained it well enough. Can anyone help me? I’m using codeigniter.

To rewrite the http requests inside the code you have to use protocol-relative paths there.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//www.domain.com/style.css"> 
<script src="//www.domain.com/script.js"></script> 

It will automatically use the protocol of the parent page
