I’ve been using the following SSLMiddleware on Linode for a while, and my SSL worked perfectly on that, now I’ve changed my server to Webfaction, and all of sudden, my HTTPS pages are not working in a way as it’s redirected to https page correctly, but all my css files, images within the css files(no absolute url), javascript have all become non secure sources(referring to http:// instead of https://), I’m really puzzled right now as I don’t know if it’s got to do with SSLMiddleware or something else, I haven’t changed anything in settings.py either apart from database parameter value.. Please help. Thanks in advance.
