Dear All,
I am using HostGator shared hosting with SSL cert installed by HostGator for my site.
I use this site as a file hosting site and provide users with a unique link to download the file.
When user clicks on the link to download the file the site detects the IP address of the user and stores it in a database as a fraud prevention mechanism, but ever since after a recovery from a database connection error the IP address that is returned from the link click does not reflect the actual IP address of the user but instead is always defaulted to my A records IP address.
If I were to manually change the link from https to http then the IP address would be detected correctly but this defeats the initial purpose of getting my site installed with a SSL cert.
Any ideas or solutions ?
Thanks in advance
