PureHeart 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2005 I'm writing this to ask if you support https or not. In http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ , I found that not all server support this. I need to know because I'm going to setup a forum that require https. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatim 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2005 A quick https didnt return any thing...but when i checked in phpinfo https comes under registered php streams. I think its enabled ..but u need to setup some sort of certificate ..i will look into it though cause i plan to make an https site too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quatrux 4 Report post Posted December 11, 2005 for what purpose you would want to create an https site ? especially a forum ? what you want to save ? it will load for a lot of people in the world a lot of times slower it is really good if you really want to save/secure something, like credit card stuff and etc. but why for a forum ? :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PureHeart 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2005 No, that's just an example. I want to protect my users from losing important information like their password (many people use the same password for different sites). I also need a https for something else. I'm learning HTTPS in PHP. And I need a place to test my scripts. I can't do that without a https enabled server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatim 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 Quatrux , well I think its good that HTTPs is used , and it doesnot slow any thing if things are configured properly and properly written website is used. There is an overhead but its negligible..considering the performance of webservers these days.i think http , telnet and ftp should just be dropped in favor of https , ssh and sftp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quatrux 4 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 it slows down things to many people in the world, because it is a different protocol than http and most isp has set it to a low value, like browsing/downloading through http protocol I get more than 1MB/s and browsing https than I need to login to my bank account, 12-100kb/s in my country, in foreign even slower, like I remember it was almost imposible to browse firefox extensions/themes pages.

PureHeart 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 We just need https for important information only. The https page just be called once when user login or send somekind of secret data. So, the connection speed doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quatrux 4 Report post Posted December 12, 2005 Yes, I agree that it is only useful for important information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PureHeart 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 OK,OK. But after all these discussion. My question is still remain unanswered. Admins, I want to know :DO Xisto - Support HTTPS OR NOT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quatrux 4 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 Well if you could look into phpinfo of the server you would find this:it is compiled: --with-opensslRegistered PHP Streams - php, http, ftp, https, ftps, compress.zlibin apache version: mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.7a and mod_ssl is loadedOpenSSL support enabledVersion: OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003and many more in the info so it is enabled.

PureHeart 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 No, it's not. My home PC has those lib. That doesn't mean Xisto server is https enabled. As far as I know, https require dedicated IP. So, I think https can't be used here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
