hi - I am setting up a site on Claranet. The site has a seperate login page. I have set actinic up so the login page and checkout pages use claranet SSL.

My login page also links contains links to the home page, catalog and brochure pages. Clicking on these buttons from the login page opens up the pages under SSL as opposed to opening the pages up as standard. This will obviously increase page download time due to encrypting things I dont want encrypted..

How can I open these pages as standard?

The links I am using from the login pages are:

Home page: <a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK">

catalog page: <a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK">

Brochure page: <a href="aboutus.html">

Hi David

I don't know of any parameters that you could add to these links to take the shopper out of SSL. I think your best bet is to use hardcoded full URLs, ie:
Home page: <a href="http://yourdomain/">
Catalog page: <a href="http://[cgi-bin URL]/caxxxxxx.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART"> (where xxxxxx is the script ID number)
Brochure page: <a href="http://yourdomain/acatalog/aboutus.html">
