I'm having a little trouble understanding how to accomplish this. Should the entire browsing session be HTTPS after login, or just for important functions like "login" and "checkout" If noly for those function, who should I design to jump back an forth. I know DB should be used for cart items, but when I jump to HTTPS, should I enclude the session ID (which will be stored in the DB) as a GET query string field? If not, how else will I be able to know which user to continue with. I don't see any functions that will let you specify which session ID to continue with. What is the best practice?
