Site broken in Chrome (SSL issue)

Frique, thank you!!

I submitted bug info to WooCommerce and Chrome development teams.

Hopefully they will resolve this quickly!

Hello,

thank you very much for this fix. I was sitting for countless hours, most likely on the same track as you but I couldn’t find the source for this issue.

Do you know where exactly this bug is coming from? Is it a bug in the is_ssl() check? Have you reported it already? How comes that only chrome is affected? Do you have any more infos about that? I’m just curious and just would like to make sure that this issue gets fixed properly.

Many thanks again

@frique you are a life saver!!! Solution worked! Addthis to your theme functions.php file: $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = false;

Chrome beta send a new header : HTTPS:1

Because of it, $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=1

So the function is_ssl() returns always true :
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/tags/4.2.2/src/wp-includes/functions.php#L3686

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=505268

@tdelmas Thanks for the details. Fortunately it’s just Chrome beta and an acknowledged bug so it can be fixed before public release.

I believe my first interpretation was wrong : it’s $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HTTPS’] which is impacted, and is_ssl return the wrong value because of WooCommerce fix_server_vars :

if ( ! isset( $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] ) ) {
if ( ! empty( $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HTTPS’] ) ) {
$_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HTTPS’];

https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/woocommerce/trunk/woocommerce.php#L382

So that would explain why it only happens when WC is installed, even on non-wc pages.

No dice ?? and it does indeed go away when woocommerce is disabled.

But I can live with it being broken temporarily on Chrome Beta.

Thank you Frique. Worked for me. What doesn’t work for me is the fact that this thread can get to be so long and not single response from Woo Commerce. Not one!

@frique You’re a life saver! Thanks!

@frique – thanks so much!! This had been driving me slightly mad over the last week ??

@frique you a freaking LEGEND!!!

Thank you @frique! Added that code to my theme’s functions.php and it all is well again!

7 days after my initial problem report to WooThemes, I just received this reply:

Sure, I’ll forward it to our developers so they can investigate it further and look at addressing it in a future WooCommerce version.
