[Plugin: WordPress HTTPS (SSL)] 502 Proxy Error

    I have random 502 proxy errors after activating this plugin.

    Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

    This is inconsistent behavior and does not happen on every page load. It ceases to happen when I deactivate the plugin.

    This appears to be a request time out issue. But I am unsure what could be causing it.

    It is not a new bug with the new release. It was happening before as well.

    There are two ways to solve this.

    1. Switch everything to SSL and stop using this plugin (which I did)
    2. Switch to a different product or web host (which I am making plans to do)

    Rackspace Cloud Sites has been too unstable for us and we cannot afford to go down for hours at a time, or deal with configuration issues with their poor SSL support.

    Thanks for your response, yes in the brief time I’ve been there I’ve had little bits of outages and this proxy thing which I can’t deal with so I’m switching to media temple they have a dedicated vps with more bandwidth and its cheaper and a full plesk control panel and root access, hopefully this will solve the issue, if not I’ll be back. Good luck to you.

    Thanks

    Your other option is to add conditional coding around elements to have them switch to https. I have done this on many sites. I use the wordpress-https plugin which handles most of the plugin elements.

    You can get http watch pro which is an add-in for your browser which will tell you which elements are not being served in a secure manner.

    Anything else I hard code a switch like this:
    ‘
    <?php if ( !is_page(‘shopping-cart’) ) { ?>
    <img src=”https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourimage.jpg&#8221; />
    <?php } else { ?>
    <img src=”https://www.yourwebsite.com/yourimage.jpg&#8221; />
    <?php } ?>
    ‘

    This code basically says if you are on any page except the /shopping-cart/ page do this, otherwise do this.

    You can rewrite that differently if it bothers you but this works for me. I preferred using !is_page excluding the one page rather than using is_page and including only the pages I want to have the https show up on.

    I don’t have the proxy problem any more and I was able to eliminate a plugin so this worked. Hope it helps!
