Hi
The web services tutorial states that:
If you are using sessions, once you switch to SSL you should never accept any further requests for that session that are non-SSL. For example, a shopping site might not use SSL until the checkout page, then it may switch to using SSL in order to accept your card number. After switching to SSL, you should stop listening to non-SSL requests for this session
If I needed to construct a website where the user is required to log in, add items to their shopping basket and then pay for their items, how would I implement this?
The idea would be that they could log in using https, do their shopping in a normal http way and then pay using https. Isn't this exactly the kind of thing the tutorial states I shouldn't be doing?
This might not be the best place for this posting but the question has arisen from reading the web services tutorial.
