653223 - ReCAPTCHA API URL change

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: Server: Account Portal, defect)

Description

[:Atoll]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #653195 +++

Oh dear. All signups currently fail to display a captcha, because we didn't change the URL as described in this message:

http://groups.google.com/group/recaptcha/browse_thread/thread/57baacc2a067035a

We are indeed getting a cert error.

The transition involves a very simple change to your code.  Any time
between now and April 11, you need to replace all instances of:
https://api-secure.recaptcha.net/XXX
with:
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/XXX

If you don’t make the change before April 11, your users might see SSL
certificate warnings when visiting your site.  (However, the CAPTCHA
should still load normally, unless the user has restrictive security
settings.)

Code is possibly here:

This affects Aurora.
