CMS Uploading Dilema

[Laphan]

Hi All

If this should be in .asp.general rather than db please accept my apols. It
is based round a problem with my ASP/MySQL DB so hopefully I've posted
correctly.

I've created a CMS that allows the user to upload their own company logo gif
(to be displayed top left of every page) and this will work fine apart from
when the site moves from http to https.

I'm nearly 100% sure that if I reference this logo pic from it's http
location when the user is looking at the https side of the site then they
will receive the unnerving message box saying that some of the content is
non-secure (or something like that).

What appears to be my only option is in the CMS side of the site I take them
to a separate page, which is located on the secure server (this https is on
a completely separate domain/server) and they upload the same pic to this
site. Bit crappy this so does anybody have any better ideas?

FYR, I use ASPupload v2 to do the uploading to a certain folder and all my
DB does is hold the locations of the folders and the names of the pics.

Thanks

Apols.

Content Management System - posh phrase to say user updates it all via a web
site.

Yes, generally browser will display.

Nope. That was only 1 of the option ;) Why not upload the gif file to
database? and download it from database for display? this can save you from
having duplicated filename in your server, or to rename them on the fly.

Use ASPSmartUpload.. it's free and as good as ASPUpload. Furthermore, any
webserver NOT supporting MTC, CAN ALSO use ASPSmartUpload.
