Hello, I’ve come across an issue when submitting forms over https.
Basically when a user submits a form, the validation errors on the next page send the user back to the form to correct the invalid data. This works fine over http, but when submitting over https, the form data is cleared out.

Hi Maheradmin,
When using https, are all pages involved using secure connections (https) or are you switching back and forth between secure and insecure connections? My guess is that a return to an insecure page after submitting through a secure connection will clear the page.
Do you have an example of this that you can provide?

Yes, register page and resulting pages all run via https. Here’s a sample form I’m using to test this.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<style>
label {
display: block;
width: 150px;
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
}
input {
float: left;
display: block;
width: 300px;
}
.row {
clear: left;
display: block;
width: 650px;
padding: 10px 0;
}
</style>
<link href="{path=css/_ee_saef_css}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test Form</h1>
{exp:safecracker channel="test" safecracker_head="no" include_jquery="no" secure_action="yes" secure_return="yes"}
<div class="row">
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input name="title" type="text">
</div>
<div class="row">
<label for="test_1">Test Data 1</label>
<input type="text" id="test_1" name="test_1" maxlength="128" size="50">
</div>
<div class="row">
<label for="test_2">Test Data 2</label>
<input type="text" id="test_2" name="test_2" maxlength="128" size="50">
</div>
<div class="row">
{if captcha}
<label for="captcha">Please enter the word you see in the image:</label>
{captcha}
<input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" maxlength="20">
{/if}
</div>
<div class="row">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
{/exp:safecracker}
</body>

Could I get a look at this one first hand, Maheradmin? Be on the lookout for an email from me.

Sure thing…

Ok sent over the info. Try the SAEF form with both HTTP and HTTPS… you’ll notice the issue is only evident in the HTTPS form.
