Quick question if I update my server by purchasing an SSL certificate and update my app so that SetHTTPHost is using a secure connection will older versions of the app still work if they are using SetHTTPHost(http, "server.url", 0)?

So the updated app will have SetHTTPHost(https, "server.url", 1)

And the old versions will have SetHTTPHost(http, "server.url", 0)

Is this going to break it for users of an old version?

Has anyone experienced this by adding a SSL certificate after an app was launched?

http and https using different ports, normal they can run beside. with ms iis server you can choose if both are allowed.
anyhow at my web hosting provider its possible and my domain have access with http and https.
for other subdomains with https they will have extra money.

I think this post has answered my question. It uses Google Maps API. I amended the secure value in the example and it worked. So it looks like you can run a secure connection and an unsecure connection to a server that has SSL.

If anyone can confirm that would be great as I don't want to suddenly stop a few hundred users from using the app.

better say that you not want that http redirect to https if someone setup the certificate.

I can probably do that in the .htaccess file but is that important? Not redirecting them? In the example below we don't actually tell it specifically to use https apart from the 0 and 1 value.

http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost( http, "www.appgamekit.com", 0 )

Hopefully this set up will work?:

OLD VERSION OF THE APP
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost( http, "www.appgamekit.com", 0 )

NEW VERSION OF THE APP
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost( http, "www.appgamekit.com", 1 )

SERVER SETTINGS WITH SSL
Redirect http to https

redirect means if you open this url in browser
http://www.appgamekit.com
it goto
https://www.appgamekit.com
but you said your old app should using the url without ssl and credentials.

The old app is using www.mydomain.com instead of http://www.mydomain.com.

I would like the url when accessed in a browser to redirect to https but if that causes problems with the old app I can probably live without it.

No need to purchase a certificate. Use letsencrypt.org and get their certbot onto your server. It'll not only be free, but also update your certificate entirely automatically.

yes in agk commands its without http:// or https:// only controlled by secure flag.
but i guess if the web server redirect you at your browser to https your agk app will not connect just with http.

maybe you can do this self within a index.html
