http: (not https:) login does not work

[therube]

http: (as opposed to https:) login (seemingly) does not work.

That's fine, except I happened upon a http:// link & when I went to log in,
I received a, "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.", message.

And that was confusing (as I had thought I entered my correct un/pw).


So I tried a different browser, copying the URL over from 1 to the other, & as the copied URL was http:, I ended up in the same circumstance, "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.". So then I check (browser) History, & recent has been https: & that clued me in.

On the https: end, I was able to successfully log in.


Maybe if one inadvertently ends up on a http:// page, if it rolled over to https:// (or at least for the login procedure), that would have been less confusing.

I cant reproduce this problem because the web server automatically redirects a http-request to "https".

for example:

Code: Select all

http://www.allsync.biz/phpBB/index.php

redirects to

https://allsync.biz/phpBB/index.php
