So I got the HTTPS proxy set up, which rewrites http:// references to go via the script (which is fetched via HTTPS) rather than the affiliate site (which is HTTP). The intent is to prevent the browser warning of insecure content, because my HTTPS page includes content from a HTTP URL.
Then I find that the affiliate program drops my refid from the HTML when my server fetches the content on behalf of the visitor, instead of the visitor's browser fetching it directly. My workaround does NOT work.
I've sent them 3 messages in the past 6 weeks and there's been no response.
Don't know whether to laugh, or cry.
