Hello,
I am doing some updates for a company called Alta West Mortgage and i am having some troubles wrapping my brain around the https concept.
http://www.altawestmortgage.com
*Then click the apply tab.
Notice that the url changes from http to https and secure is added like a 'sub-domain' prefix to the altawestmortgage.com
I realize this is a secured area of the site that encrypts/decrypts all user input data from forms for security purposes. Now in this section it is pulling php includes files from the folder on the root's folder of site. Is this area hosted in the same place? Once I update the includes files will all the content be reflect within that section?
Is the secure prefix the folder named secure on their site? Or are these files being hosted in a different location? There is a secure folder on the site with all the apply tab's files inside. But the apply tab has a couple lines of code that is just a
header("location:https://secure.altawestmortgage.com/apply/apply.php");
Anyone with some knowledge in this department would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time & efforts!
