Hi everybody,

Google has changed the URL to be used with their Recaptcha and SSL, see:

groups.google.com/group/recaptcha-announce/browse_thread/thread/c1ff6844420c9e63?pli=1

When I checked which files still contain the old, depreceated URL api-secure.recaptcha.net , I have found it in file "components\com_uddeim\recaptchalib.php"

Maybe uddeIM might have a problem? I don't know because I do not require captcha for registered users sending messages with uddeIM on my site.

All I know that Google sais the URL mentioned above has to be replaced by www.google.com/recaptcha/api , and with the Joomla 2.5 bultin recaptcha plugin it hepled to make it work.

If you want to find out which other files have to be changed in a Joomla installation, change directory to your Joomla root, and enter following on a Winddows host in a Windows command shell window (so-called "DOS prompt"):

findstr /s /m /i /c:" api-secure.recaptcha.net " *.*


And on a Linux host:

find ./ -type f -exec grep -l "https://api-secure\.recaptcha\.net" {} \;


This will list you all files containing the old, depreceated URL.

Best regards,

Richard

Thanks for the info.

Since I do also not use Captchas I have not seen that this has been changed. I will fix it in the next version.
