Confirm URL incorrect

[Anton]

Hi Guys, and thanks for a great product.

Just getting back into using MaxBulk Mailer and MLM again after quite a sabbatical, however I've hit a snag.

We're working hard to obtain ReturnPath certification which should dramatically improve our in-box delivery rate. Part of this is the requirement for double opt-in.

The problem is our site is secured by EV SSL and the url starts https:// However the confirmation link in the opt in email begins http:// resulting in a 404 error.

I took a quick peek through the php code to see if it was an easy fix, but the location of exactly where this substitution occurs eludes me.

Temporarily, I've set $mlm_optin = false in lm_prefs.php but this is not an adequate long term solution.

Any suggestions, thought or ideas would be most appreciated.

Many thanks - Anton

Can you tell me what URL returns an error 404?

Hi Stanbusk,

Thanks so much for your help.

Obviously the Confirmation URL changes based on the email address subscribing. Rather than try and explain, I've re-enabled the double opt-in feature so you can see for yourself that the confirmation URL is broken.

Try joining our mailing list at:

https://secure.awarenessshop.com/index. ... 9&Itemid=1

You will receive an email to confirm your subscription. You will see that the confirmation link is broken as it starts with http:// and not https:// which it should. If you change the http:// to https:// the link works as it should.

Hope this helps clarify.

Best - Anton

In lm.php, line 564 you should see:

$path_to_script = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

replace it with:

$path_to_script = "https://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
