    Cannot direct to secure page if the store is embedded in an iframe

    Our shop is implemented using eCommerce Framework 3.1 and the shop is embedded in an iframe.  However, when checkout at the shopping cart http://ourdomain/Basket/ShoppingCart.aspx, we notice from httpwatch that it will 1st goto https://ourdomain/Checkout/CheckoutAddress.aspx and then goto http://ourdomain/Checkout/CheckoutAddress.aspx.  Thus it cannot use https during the checkout and purchase process. We had tried to frame other online shops website at the iframe but other shops can goto the secure checkout page.  Any idea on this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Why is your ecommerce site embedded in an iframe? This is not a typical implementation. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish and what steps you take to generate your error? Is there a URL that we can see this behavior?

    We know that it is not a typical implementation.  However, this is required by our customer since they want the header and footer to be maintained under a content management system.  Right now the site use DotNetNude as the content management system and the ecommerce site is framed under the DNN.  For the URL, I can provide it to you in a seperate email.  Following please found the description of the problem.

    If ecommerce site is not frammed,

    1. 1st login and buy a product at the site
    2. Check out the shopping cart and the site will goto http://mydomain/Basket/ShoppingCart.aspx
    3. Then click the "proceed to checkout" button, the browser will direct to the page https://mydomain/Checkout/CheckoutAddress.aspx in HTTPS.

    All these steps are correct.  However, if the ecommerce site is frammed, in step 3, it will be directed to http://mydomain/Checkout/CheckoutAddress.aspx in http only, but not https.

    We have tried to frame other online shop websites that are not using mediachase and these shops can goto the secure checkout page (https) even they are framed.

    Please help to investigate and thanks in advance.
