stuck on form mailer

[pm3009]

I have a website that I created with Frontpage 2003 and I purchased a
SSL Certificate. I found that the Frontpage forms weren't supported
with the SSL. I asked my Hosting company (godaddy) if they would
install extensions on port 443, but they said that they couldn't, so
they pointed me to directions on how to point to their gdform.php,
which I did. The form now works on the secure page, and I receive the
email with the data input, but, once I click on the Submit button, I
receive the error.... "You are about to be redirected to a connection
that is not secure...... "

I changed the redirect for the confirmation page from:
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />


to the following....


<input type="hidden" name="redirect"
value="https://www.mywebsite.com/thankyou.html" />


but then I get the "Ooops, Page not found error".


I realized with redirect line above, is actually redirecting to the
following URL which is why I'm seeing the "Oops, Page not found error".

http://www.mywebsite.com/https://www.mywebsite.com/thankyou.html
(notice the string of two urls together...one http, and the other
https)


If I remove the redirect command for the confirmation page completely,
I still get the "You are about to be redirected to a connection that is

not secure...... " error.


What would be the correct redirect line, to redirect people to the
secure thankyou page so that they don't get the "You are about to be
redirected to a connection that is not secure...." error ?


The line I tried below, is obviously not giving the correct results.
<input type="hidden" name="redirect"
value="https://www.mywebsite.com/thankyou.html" />


The post command I am using is:
<form action="https://www.mywebsite.com/gdform.php" method="POST">


Thank you for any help you can give me.

Bear in mind that if you email the form results, then using SSL is a waste
of time - email is just as insecure as an http connection. If you are
sending information that *must* have a https connection to submit the form
data, then it should be stored in a secured database or processed without
storing (credit card), NOT sent by email.
It sounds like you will have to write your own form handler, since
GoDaddy's is not up to the job.
