Switching between HTTP and HTTPS with SSL-Ext and Struts 1.2.9

Question

Hi,

I'm using the sslext extension for Struts to enable/disable passing data over HTTPS. I've implemented it so that https is only used for credit card processing. Its working fine when switching to https but I cannot get it to switch back to http.

I've tried hitting another action where I've specified the following:

 <set-property property="secure" value="false"/>

I've also added the following to the jsp's:

 <sslext:pageScheme secure="false"/>

But I still seem unable to switch back to HTTP.

Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, gearoid.

I've achieved this by making sure that mapping.findForward(...) redirects to an action which wasn't ssl secured. It's useless making a JSP page scheme unsecure, it only means that if set to true, ssl ext links the jsp page on secure channel.
