Issue Summary

The module http://drupal.org/project/securepages_prevent_hijack is an important enhancement for securepages. I think it should be listed on the project page, like:

Users who are looking for protection against a sniffer reading form data in the clear should use securepages. If you also want to prevent the "hijack" of a user's session then you will need to also use the Securepages Hijack Prevention module.

Comments

#1

What about just merging the two together, since in most cases people need both anyway? Are they maintained by the same person?

#2

That does seem better to me as well to merge them. I don't know why they are separate. They are not the same author.

#3

Basically the reason I have not included this patch was because it was going to break things that I am in the process of implementing such as shared ssl support.

#4

Sure, but you could add it to the project page for users of the 6.x-1.* (I assume your new features will be in a 2.x branch).

#5

Mod parent up.

It seems absurd that securepages does not do this out of the box. Glad there is already a plan to integrate these.

The project page currently has this text:

Users of this module should consider using Secure Pages Hijack Prevention which makes "mixed mode" SSL more secure.
