I need to put https on some of the URL but not on all the URL. I am using zend URl view helper for all the links. I have a *.example.com SSL certificate for whole site. Now I open site with https://www.example.co, then all the link on home page or other pages contains https in URL. How can I make some specific request on the https url and other page should be opened normal.
I also need to pt some redirection so that if somebody open the specific pages in normal URL then they redirected on https url. I think the .htaccess redirection will work for that.
Any help ????
Thanks in advance!!!
the URL ViewHelper only assembles paths, absolute from the hostname. so you need to explicitly prefix your https links
<? $url = $view->url(array('some' => 'params') /*, $route, $reset*/) ?>
<a href="https://<?= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST] ?><?= $url ?>">my explicit https link</a>
you should maybe create a an own small viewhelper which does that work for your and also checks if HTTP_HOST is set etc, maybe also take it from the config instead from $_SERVER.
$view->httpsUrl(array('some' => 'params')/, $route, $reset/);
to be secure that defined reqeust must be https can easily be done by adding a front controller plugin or even an abstract controller-class you base all your otehr controller on.
a plugin could look like this
My_Controller_Plugin_HttpBlacklist extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
// when /foo/bar/baz is requested
if (($request->getModuleName() == 'foo' &&
$request->getControllerName() == 'bar' &&
$request->getControllerName() == 'baz')
/* || (conditions for more requests)*/) {
//very basic confifiotn to see if https is enabled, should be done better...
if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on') {
// should be done with Zend_Http_Reponse instead
header('Location: https://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit;
}
}
}
}
then simply plug it in
$frontController->registerPlugin(new My_Controller_Plugin_HttpBlacklist);
I rather used a simple method and that does not required any change in urls generation/route. I wrote following lines in routeStartup function of a plugin and haven't made any change in URLs route.
public function routeStartup(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$controller=$this->_controller = $this->_front->getRequest()->getControllerName();
$action=$this->_controller = $this->_front->getRequest()->getActionName();
if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']!=443)
{
//controller and actions array to check ssl links
$actionArr=array('index'=>array('registration'),'account'=>array('editacc','edit'),'dealer'=>array('*'));
if(array_key_exists($controller,$actionArr)!==false)
{
if(in_array($action,$actionArr[$controller]) || $actionArr[$controller][0]=='*')
{
$redirector = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('redirector');
$redirector->gotoUrl(SITE_LIVE_URL_SSL.$controller."/".$action);
}
}
}
else
{
//controller and action array that should not be on ssl.
$notAactionArr=array('usersearch'=>array('mainserarch'),'account'=>array('index'),'onlineusers'=>array('*'));
if(array_key_exists($controller,$notAactionArr)!==false)
{
if(in_array($action,$notAactionArr[$controller]) || $notAactionArr[$controller][0]=='*')
{
$redirector = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('redirector');
$redirector->gotoUrl(SITE_LIVE_URL.$controller."/".$action);
}
}
}
}
