I have two different domains/sites, one http and one https. The http site requires login and then users are shown a non-secure page with an iframe that shows content from the https site.
I would like to seamlessly pass login credentials from the http site to the iframe'd https site. I do not want to use jquery. Is it possible to have the iframe use a POST request instead of GET? I would like to encrypt the login info from the http site and POST the encrypted bundle to the https site.
I'm working with php and apache, if it makes a difference.
I found this article on iframe/POST but wasn't sure how to get the form auto-submitted when the http page loads. Maybe that's a line of javascript? Also, while the login page on the http site has a login form, the post-login page that has the iframe on it does not (currently) have a form. Maybe I could make an invisible form to create this POST request?
Thanks!
