Dear warriors,

Here's the complicated situation I'm trying to solve:

• I'm using Fan Page Engine as my fan gate provider
• I'm using the Aweber HTML code in that fan gate to build my list
• When customers register on my fan gate and have the "secure connection" (which makes every link https) option "ON", Aweber reacts by forcing the person to confirm their opt-in
• People usually don't go through the extra effort to confirm, so I lose 70% of my potential opt-ins right now... which gives me a headache.

What Fan Page Engine told me:

The fan gate they host for me is either http or https depending on the security options of the Facebook users. They say it's Aweber's fault

What Aweber told me:

Submissions through a webform that come from a secure connection will
always require a confirmation email to be sent. The server does not support secure connections.
What you can do is create an application using our API. The API does use a secure connection. If you would like more information on this you can visit our API site at ...

What I'm thinking...

I need to find someone who will give me a solution to this problem. The best for me would be to find a way to use the API they're talking about, and I have no idea about how to do this. No luck finding answers on Google either.


Thanks for your support, this is killing me right now!
