MVC: Creating SSL Links/URLs

published 2 months, 23 days ago, submitted by TroyMG 2 months, 24 days ago

squaredroot.com — A couple days ago a reader sent in a question regarding how to use SSL with the MVC framework. Specifically the reader wanted to know the easiest way to make an Ajax call to a HTTPS page from a non HTTPS page. The tricky part here is to do so without hard-coding any URLs, so I whipped up a few extension methods that should make this a bit easier. read more...

Virtual Earth: SSL Support

submitted by crpietschmann 8 months, 14 days ago

pietschsoft.com — I've implemented Virtual Earth within many web applications, but one thing that I've only had to do a couple times is run the site under SSL. If you have ever done this, then you know that the web browser doesn't like this and complains with the "Do you want to display nonsecure items?" prompt. This can be a pain for users, escpecially when they click "No" and then wonder why the map isn't there. Yes, even though it isn't documented, Virtual Earth does support being referenced under SSL. To reference Virtual Earth v6 using SSL you must pass "s=1" in the querystring, as well as use HTTPS. read more...

Tip/Trick: Enabling SSL on IIS 7.0 Using Self-Signed Certificates

published 1 year, 4 months ago, submitted by gavinjoyce 1 year, 4 months ago

weblogs.asp.net — SSL enables browsers to communicate with a web-server over a secure channel that prevents eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery. You should always use SSL for login pages where users are entering usernames/passwords, as well as for all other sensitive pages on sites (for example: account pages that show financial or personal information). Configuring SSL on Windows with previous versions of IIS has been a pain. Figuring out how to install and manage a certificate, and then associate it with a web-site, is something I bet most web developers don't know how to enable. The good news is that IIS 7.0 makes it radically easier to configure and enable SSL. IIS 7.0 also now has built-in support for creating "Self Signed Certificates" that enable you to easily create test/personal certificates that you can use to quickly SSL enable a site for development or test purposes. Using IIS 7.0 you can SSL enable an existing web site in under 30 seconds. read more...
