Subject: And on the final point, dns servers, I'm specifically referring to instances where people may be using dns servers that use dns filtering and may have policies in place vs http sites. That, or other "network" wide settings (firewalls, port blocking) could prevent people accessing voy even if everything else on their browser would let them. Hence why I mentioned that. Anyway, I should stop discussing this now. Though not because I'm discussing something "I don't know about." Thanks
In reply to: TT 's message, "Like you say, the SSL certificate is invalid so Chrome stops you. Chrome (Google) is notorious for security but it can be overridden in developer mode. Redirectig http to https is done server side and DNS has nothing to do with it at as the A records are the same and sends the request to the server with no idea if it is going to a secure or unsecure website. If it's a Linux box the .htaccess file redirects http to https and if it's a Windows box it's normally handled by the web config file..." on Monday, February 17, 06:39:25am
