Normally, any text (such as your credit card
number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means that a
hacker could potentially intercept (however unlikely) the information sent from your
browser and read it. Therefore, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted
before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to
decrypt it without knowing the key.
The following example uses your domain
as the
name of your domain and any page as the name of the order form or the page you wish to be
secure.
Use the following url to call your pages via the
secure server.
https://#.4ua.com/yourdomain/anypage.html - NOTE: Do not use the .com, .net, etc.
extension when putting in your domain name.
If you do not know which server # your domain is
on, please contact support.
The above page would be accessed from the normal
web server as:
http://yourdomain.com/anypage.html
*SPECIAL NOTE FOR FORMMAIL WITH THE SECURE
SERVER*
You will not be able to use the system formmail
script with the secure server. You will need to install formmail in your cgi bin to use
with the secure server. The frommail script and installation instructions can be
downloaded here:
http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml
If you are calling the formmail through the
secure server, your action line and other code will look like the following:
<FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="https://4ua.com/yourdomain/cgi-bin/formmail.pl">
<input type=hidden name="recipient"
value="emailaccount@yourdomain.com">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Order">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_url"
value="https://4ua.com/yourdomain/yourpage">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" value="Back to Your
Page">
NOTE: do not put the .com, .net, etc. extension
after yourdomain.
The last two lines allow a link back to your
main page - thus they get a report of what they ordered and a link.
It's important that you call your order page
through a secure URL (HTTPS) in order for it to work properly
Example:
https://#.4ua.com/yourdomain/yourorderform.htm
If you do not know which server # your domain is
on, please contact support.
