Ticket #285 (Fixed)Thu May 05 08:33:53 UTC 2011

Following results of 'Search whole site' (via Google search) defaults to HTTP, giving the impression of being logged out

Reported by: Trevor Johnson (329) Severity: Minor
Part: Web site: General (miscellaneous issues) Release: 3rd public site release
Milestone: 3rd public site release completed Status Fixed

Details by Trevor Johnson (329):

Ticket #25 is nicely fixed but the ‘Search whole site’ feature uses Google, which by default lists results via HTTP.

  • If logged in via HTTPS, following such a search result has the effect of the rest of the session being navigated under the impression of being logged out.
  • Manually changing the URL to use HTTPS (or clicking on ‘Log in’) reveals that the user is indeed still logged in.

Could one possible solution be the adoption of a custom search API, modifying the search results according to whether the user is logged in or not? Or perhaps there’s a simpler solution.

  • Status changed from Open to Fixed

Everything now runs under HTTPS including off-site searches (Google having supported HTTPS for searches for a long time).
