Hi All

Looking for some information. We are running MCMS 2002 SP1a on
Framework 1.1 sp1.
We have a requirement to change to HTTPS on certain channels. Based on
some advise from microsoft we've added code to check for a custom
property on the channels and change the protocol accordingly. This is
obviously now being checked on every request.
My boss is concerned that this will slow the site response time down
On to the question:
Has anyone who has implemented this solution experienced any impact on
site response time?
If so is there a better way to achieve the protocol change?

Thanks as always
Mikey

Hi Mikey,

this is the recommended approach from Microsoft.
You can also see this in the following whitepaper:

Cheers

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've implemeted code as per this paper. However we are having a problem
with the browser back button.

If I go to a channel that requires HTTPS (SSL) its great, from here
switching back to HTTP also works great. From an HTTPS page If I use
the browser back button (IE6) and then click the link to the HTTPS
channel the page hangs. It displays a white page (No message) and the
URL remains as of the previous page. No matter how often I refresh the
page nothing is diplayed. However if I hit the back button from here
and then again click on the HTTPS channel the page is displayed as
normal.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated

Hi Mikey,

sounds like an Internet Explorer problem.
You might want to verify with a different browser.
If yes, please open a support case with Microsoft against IE.

Cheers,
Stefan
