Find and Replace Issued on Database

Hello all,

I have entered a find and replace query in the database to reflect the change from HTTP to HTTPS to ensure that any old links don’t make a page partially insecure i.e if an image is linked via an HTTP link it is not converted to HTTPS until user view it and the server identifies that oops this is an old link, it really leads to the HTTPS link found here.

To quicken the transfer process for any old images or links I issued a find and replace query in the database directly so that even before its accessed, the object/item is taken via/to the HTTPS destination on the server. After all whats a tunnel under the ocean worth if no one uses boats to cross the same distance (reference of course to the HTTPS tunnel the traffic SHOULD be going through vs the traffic going around it).

Now I will be watching for error page displays please do take the time to let me know if you encounter any partially unencrypted pages or error pages that can’t find a given resource (i.e dead links and missing images) via the contact me page. It would be greatly appreciated.

However I don’t expect many issues as all the traffic is HTTPS rout-able on the server so if it is directed to an object on the server that doesn’t exist you can damn sure expect a 404 but not because the content isn’t in existence but rather because it is not refrenced to in the HTTPS method it should have been.
