 * Hi There,
 * I have a client that has a site using eStore and authorize.net. We are using 
   the SIM method. We inherited this site and he was already using this method and
   since he has only one golfing product, we saw no reason the use a SSL cert on
   his site. It is also the reason to use the SIM methos as opposed to the AIM method
   which would cost him more money. In the reply/response settings at authorize.
   net, I have set his thank you page. Since the transaction takes place on a secured
   server, theirs, when it tries to post the thank you URL, it throws an error of
   unsecured content. The transaction is successful but the customers are confused.
 * I am trying to make an easy fix as we are busy with other clients and saw your
   plugin. I have installed your plugin and set it up to force SSL only on that 
   page. I am hoping that when a.net tries to post that page, it will “appear” as
   a SSL page and display it as it is without errors. Will your plugin accomplish
   this?
 * I hope this works as it would be an easy fix and I would gladly buy you a few
   beers, LOL.
 * Thanks and I await your reply
 * Cheers,
    Joe

 * Theoretically, that is what the plugin will do. Most of the time it works out
   of the box, but there are things it simply can’t fix. I could spend a ton of 
   time developing methods to fix some extra things, but it’s a lot easier to have
   users fix them when they run into them. There is no guarantee that the plugin
   will fix every error, but I’ve been refining it for a couple of years now. It’s
   pretty good, if I’m allowed to say so. 😛
 * Edit: I might have misread, but just to clarify, you have to have an SSL certificate
   in order for an HTTPS page to appear secure. No way around it. If the thank you
   page doesn’t contain any sensitive data, which I’m assuming it won’t, I see no
   reason to secure that page.

 * Hi Mvied,
 * I agree but using the SIM method with a.net, I have to have a https:URL for that
   Thank you page or it causes an error. The relay/response URL settings at a.net.
   are just as they should be and confirmed with anet techs. I am trying everything
   to find a way to make a.nets server either see that page as a https page or receive
   the IPN data we need for eStore and SQL db but not send that relay back or something???
   You can see I’m scheming,lol
 * I’ll work with the configuration. I might not have things right, who knows??
   
   Please feel free to share any suggestions how the plugin might work or not, ideas
   or suggestions.
 * Thanks and Cheers –

 * Well, if they won’t allow you to redirect to a HTTPS URL, you may be able to 
   modify your .htaccess to always redirect users to the HTTP version of your site.
   I’m not sure if you’ll still get an HTTPS error or not, but it’s worth a shot.
   Also, my plugin has a ‘Force SSL Exclusively’ option which may work as well.

 * No the problem is the thank you URL is http. They want it to be a https since
   its being displayed on their site. When submit is clicked it calls the relay 
   URLof my site. According to a supervisor any relay response that is http URL 
   will experience this insecure content error. I’m not asking my client to get 
   a SSL cert just to display a thank you page. It’s kinda weird to me. But according
   to what I have read about your plugin, without a SSL cert, it won’t help me, 
   correct?
 * Cheers
