Plugin switches to https when changing between mobile and standard view

Hey Gavin and Ron,

could you guys check if you’re hosted at Microsoft IIS servers? You can ask your hoster or check what the value of $_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’] is. To do that create a new php file and add the following to it:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'];
?>

Save it and upload the file to your website. Visit it at your website and check whats showing. Could you post the result here? It might be something like ‘Microsoft-IIS/*version*’. Please delete the file afterwards.

Brave New Code, I’ve sent you a new email with some more explanation ??

I made the plugin edit outlined above and that seems to have taken care of it.

Jacques, thanks for jumping in. I ran the server check you mentioned above. Feel free to email me at ronwhitler(at)gmail(dot)com and I’ll update you on my results.

I’m happy to help do whatever testing that helps.

Thanks for the help. ~ Ron

I’m on Microsoft-IIS/7.0

Ron, the only testing you could do for me is to check what server software your hoster uses ??

Thanks Gavin. My hoster is using Microsoft-IIS/6.0 so we pretty much can be sure about what is causing the problem we’re having.

I’ve received another email from Brave New Code.

We have noted this issue for investigation for development with a future release of WPtouch and WPtouch Pro.

so I guess it’ll be fixed in the next WPtouch update ??

Always good to see developers recognise and take note of issues. As we use many plugins that are made freely available to us, the least we can do is help make the product better!

Pleased to have been of assistance ??

We try.

I’m just posting an update – I updated to 1.9.6.1. The update recreated the problem and I and needed to edit the plugin with the workaround described by Jacquesdancona above and the workaround is making it happen again.

This post was great. I was having the same exact problem and once I changed to this:
$protocol = ( !empty($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]) ) ? ‘https://’ : ‘https://’;
the problem went away.

BraveNewCode has updated their version since this thread and it still hasn’t been fixed, so I had to use the hack. Hope it doesn’t cause a security issue.

Hi Sperry,

Can you check if your website is hosted on Windows servers? I still think that’s the problem here.

We’re not using WP Touch anymore but I’m still curious.

I’m pretty sure it is a windows based server.
