https problems..
I don't know if this is a security-feature or a bug :(
I have to sites using DivX webplayer and now with ssl (https) support I am dancing with joy :)
... but one of the sites doesn't work :( - Just stalling with a "connecting" screen.
Now.. it is same server installation (Debian/Apache2-ssl/PHP5) with self-signed certificate, same code... the very only difference I can find is that the one server doesn't have an reversible ip-address :(
that is :
----------------------------------------------------------------
Working :
host server1.com -> server1.com has address 123.45.67.89
host 123.45.67.89 -> 123.45.67.89 is server1.big-isp.com
Not working :
host server2.com -> server2.com has address 98.67.45.123
host 98.67.45.123 -> 98.67.45.123 does not exist, try again
----------------------------------------------------------------
My question : does the ssl module you are using require the servers ip-address to be reversible or are my problem maybe elsewhere :(
Do all subdomains need SSL ?
Off cause not, you can have both https://secured.website.com and http://www.website.com and http://unsecure.website.com
Only note is that SSL works on sockets, not the HTTP connection, which makes it impossible to host different SSL-sites on same webserver, but you can still have the unsecure websites along with the ssl-version.
I have the whole site on SSL, yes, a little overhead and the browsers tend not to cache graphics etc. But this way their browsers don't complain about mixing secure and unsecured elements on the webpage.

I have no problem in Firefox, actually I only use firefox.
But, remember that Webplayer seems to reads its connection info (proxy) from the system settings (ControlPanel -> Internet) and not from the browser embedding the player.

I am laughing at my self... okay it was late.
I found the error, the ssl-certificate on server2 was issued wrong :( it was made for "*.server2.com" and I was reaching "server2.com" so it would not match.
The reversible part has nothing to do with it.
I'm not gonna delete my post, I hope others will read it and get a "a-ha" feeling :)
btw. Webplayer is the best video program I have met :) - So simple and so usefull.
You did the right thing posting the answer to your problem.
Thank you sooo much. Problem solved. Now I can go to bed. =)
Update. Noticed there is still a problem with FireFox 3 over https.
At least with version 3.0.5.
I still have issues to publish video files over https in divx web player. Could someone help me please ?
I just succeed to have the "connecting" message but no video.
When I change the config to go without https it works.
So how can I publish my videos over https please ?
I guess things like this can happen. I'm curious though on why would you implement SSL for *.site.com ? Do all subdomains need SSL ? From what i know that can lead to some extra bandwidth usage and duplicate content issues so it might not be the best solution. I have some ssl certificates implemented on my sites from 123 reg and they've proven to be really good at it. Lots of explanations and no problems so far.
Good Luck with your sites !
