It has been a long time since I blogged. The reasons- *ahem* laziness , procastrination etc etc. but now i am determing to get this going, as i am diving into some hardcore programming.
As a starting note, I noticed that when you have a secure site hosted on an IIS 6.0 server, if you try to move from a non secure part of the site to secure site(i.e., from http to https) you might get your URLs appended with :80 .
for example, http://www.xyz.com might become https://www.xyz.com:80/ which would give you a “ Page not found error”. So, the fix would be to replace the URL string eliminating the :80.
The funny thing about this issue is i did migrate around 8 secure sites and all the time i thought this was a problem with the firewall or some bad code. It dawned upon me when One of my colleagues had the same issue. I may be wrong, if anyone knows a better fix, let me know.
