I’m working on setting up SSL for axisandallies.org
It’ll be an extra $125 - $250 per year but I think it’s worth it.
Sounds good. It is for sure!
Please excuse the NOOB in me, but what does SSL stand for?
From what i saw in another thread, its some type of software and/or server which will be used to host this site

Re: Cleaning up the forum: October 28, 2017
For reasons I won’t go into in detail (until after the change), I need to somewhat urgently migrate this forum to the new software plus SSL. I know I’ve been talking about it for years but now it’s time.
The new software will have a better search function and tags, which will allow for a better ontology for finding and discovering stuff
more of a security thingy I think

Correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security
AS security increases - your FREEDOMS will decrease.
I suspect Conspiracy at work here.
Well, Google has stated that sites without SSL will be deprioritized in search results. I’m trying to get ahead of the game.
I also need to set up a proxy so that www.axisandallies.org/forums/ can point to a different server but not appear to be a different server. (Proxy is in place as of 11/1). So with a proxy, adding SSL should be easy.
The site is secure.
There are still a few hiccups here and there but I’m working on it. :-D
Garg, if you want to repost a much, much smaller version of that image, feel free but that one was too big. :wink:
Lol no problem.
I still want to keep things a “little” fun around here where possible. Even if it does encroach on the rules sometimes… thanks for understanding. I’ll keep that in mind for future images.
With the new forums, I think it will be better at keeping it under control automatically.
In the meantime, think Facebook or Twitter meme image size. Just big enough to get the point but it fits nicely in the flow of the conversation.
Is this new software the reason we cannot post games at the moment, djensen?

Maybe TripleA needs to direct to https://… now instead of http://… as before.
Error message is attached:

What did I tell you guys? FREEDOM HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Let us know if there is anything we can do to assist and resolve Jensen. :P I’m sure it has to do with SSL not liking the security of third party software logging into the website, and attempting to upload files…
No, it’s just the TripleA software not handling a redirect (which should be 301 not 302) to https. Ugh, okay. I’ll re-enable non-secure connections.
Thanks for the note about the error, a 302 redirect could have decimated SEO/traffic to this site. It is now a 301 redirect but TripleA still might be broken.
Can somebody try posting a game via TripleA and see if you get the same error.
I just tried and got 301 now instead of 302 error.
TripleA A&A PBF should now be updated to use HTTPS with this release: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/1.9.0.0.7378
Please download and let me know if it resolves the issues.

I did not test 7378 but I can confirm it works fine with 7386!
