[ic] "Secure" basket

[Jamie Neil]

Hi All,

I've just enabled ssl on my site for the first time, and have discovered a
rather annoying problem that didn't show up beforehand.

When the user goes to the basket page, the URL is insecure which is correct.
When they click through to the checkout the secure=1 on the form passes
control to the secure pages which is also correct.

The problem is that if the user clicks recalculate, empty basket or continue
shopping in the basket page, they are redirected to the secure site rather
than the normal one. I checked the demo site at icdevgroup and it behaves
the same way.

The only way around this that I can think of is to insert an intermediate
page between the basket and the checkout that handles the move from secure
to insecure more gracefully.

Has anyone got a better suggestion?
