Redirect Loop

No. But I'll check it

Thank you. I am looking forward to hear from you. For the time being I will just go ahead and disable the ssl flag.

Thanks you so much in advance,

Smitty

after spending 20 hours on this, I finally found the solution. The issue wasn't the godaddy ssl certificate, I found this out after I went and got another ssl from rapidssl. The issue is rackspace use a load balancer on their server so the Request.IsSecureConnection is never got set to true. I ended up using a server variable instead. Below is the solution on the CommonHelper.cs on the EnsureSSL function

public static void EnsureSSL()
        {
          bool IsSecureConnection = false;
          try
          {
            IsSecureConnection = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_CLUSTER_HTTPS"] == "on" ? true : false;
          }

          catch
          {
            IsSecureConnection = false;
          }  
          
          if (!IsSecureConnection)
            {
                if (SettingManager.GetSettingValueBoolean("Common.UseSSL"))
                {
                    if (!HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.IsLoopback)
                    {
                        ReloadCurrentPage(true);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

I hope this solution will save some one else 20 hours.

I am attempting to install nopcommerce on a Load Balanced Server and have been experienced the issue where Request.IsSecureConnection always returning false.

I have also used something similar to the solution that code warrior used using HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_CLUSTER_HTTPS"]

Unfortunately this variable is never set.  I suspect that this variable is only available in some load balanced environments.

I have tried HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme.  This always returns http on a https page?

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can solve this one?

Has any one come up with a solution to this problem? I'm in a load balanced environment and I'm running into this exact issue.

I tried the solution posted by code warrior, however it isn't working for me. I love any ideas on this one.

Hi Ryan,

Just to summarise the problem.  In a Load Balanced environment the SSL connection stops at the load balancer so that you can never test for an SSL connection using standard methods such as:
- HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection
- HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme
- Request.ServerVariables["HTTPS"]

In a load balanced environment a custom request gets inserted into the header to assist in identifying a secure request.  Assuming that your host has setup this variable on their load balancer its name could be anything.  In the case of Rackspace it appears to be "HTTP_CLUSTER_HTTPS". In my case the name was "HTTP_NR_SSL", this being the name setup for the Host Net Registry.

Contact your host and ask them for the server variable to identify a HTTPS request in a load balanced environment.  With the correct variable name Code Warriors solution should work for you.

I have a similar problem

I have SSL almost working -  90%.
Port 80 the site works 100%.

I changed web.config UseSSL=”true”
Configured IIS bindings for 443.

The only links that do not work, are any url with ‘category’ in the URL, like, https://www.mystore.com/category/29-categoryname.aspx

They seem to try to open, but continue to ping the page and hang up the browser.

After further investigation, I get repeated “302 Temporarily Moved” Http Status Codes for these URL’s.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Is this a bug in Nopcommerce?

Looks like any URL Rewrite cannot be displayed in SSL mode.
Categories, news, etc. cannot render with SSL turned on.
