Working with secure server

I want to display adsense on one of my forums. However I allow the use of https on this forum, which causes problems with adsense.

Does anyone know of a way around this? Perhaps a php code to detect if https is used 'and if it is' insert a different ad?

I believe conditionals will be able to handle this, I will have to look into what exactly the code is but it should be pretty straight forward, once I figure it out, I'll post the code here.

Grim where did you buy your SSL cert at? And for how much?

**grim** · May 25th, 2008, 5:47 pm

I get all of mine via 302 Found
however the site in question uses a self signed 'no purchase needed'

Wait those are free?

But those things annoy me, firefox always flags them as "unsafe, self signed , and expired" then i always gotta allow them

Self signed are free..

You can allow them so it will only ask the first time.

Yeah once you allow it wont pop up again

And can you give me the instructions on how to get a free self signed cert? Because my domains arent hosted at webtalkdomains

You do not get free ones at webtalkdomains, there you have to pay for them.
A self signed certificate is done on your server end.

If in cpanel you need #1 a static/dedicated IP and the host giving you the ability to manage your own ssl certificates.
